Brad Binder will be keen to redeem himself by winning the
Indonesian MotoGP after enduring a disappointing race in Japan.
Most recent race
The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider started in a good position at the 2023 Japanese MotoGP title on 1 October.
Binder started on the fifth on the grid, but the South African motorcycle racer was involved in an accident and he was forced to retire.
Standings
The 28-year-old is currently placed fourth on the riders' standings having accumulated 201 points from 14 races.
Binder's MotoGP world title ambitions are slowly fading away as he is 118 points behind leader Francesco Bagnaia of Ducati with six races left.
Why Binder could win the 2023 Indonesian MotoGP
The 2016 Moto3 World Championship winner knows that he cannot afford to drop more points if he is to stay in contention for the MotoGP world title.
Binder started fourth on the grid in last year's Indonesian MotoGP, but he finished eighth in the race and he will be looking to go all the way in this year's race.
What did he say?
“For me it’s just when we started to drop a bit the rear tyre, I lost some turning, and then my pick-up was too late so I was losing a bit of the draft,” Binder said after the sprint race at the recent Japanese MotoGP.
“He [Martin] is very good at getting the bike turned and picked up. That’s one point I need to improve. It’s clearly a little bit better [mid-corner]. On the first crack of gas, I don’t push the tyre wear as easily.
"I can roll that little bit better and when I pick it up, I can try and draft. It works extremely well on a new tyre, but when it dropped, I could see some things we need to improve.”
