Brad Binder’s crashing woes continue in Catalunya after falling from the lead of the sprint race.
But the factory KTM rider, who has been very fast all weekend despite his previous crashes, saw the front-end of his RC16 wash out at turn five.Speaking after the race, Binder remained upbeat despite a third fall in two days: “Today’s qualy was pretty good. Super happy to have qualified fourth. It’s always great to be right up front from the start.
“Apart from that everything else was great. I had a really good feeling in the race, the bike is working really well here, but unfortunately in turn five the front just washed out. “It’s never cool to crash out of first, but it’s better to crash out of first place than to ride around in 15th like last week.”The South African said: “I was trying to ride clean and I probably shouldn’t have done that because I was backing it in a lot less than I’m used to and obviously it put the weight in a little bit of a different place and I washed the front.”
