Brad Binder: "Everything was working better. It's just I messed up at the end.”
That means the 2023 Jerez runner-up will join KTM team-mate Jack Miller and wild-card Dani Pedrosa in trying to battle through Saturday’s Qualifying 1.“Honestly, today was great,” Binder said. “This morning we tried something different on the front fork and I felt so much better. I was able to brake hard and enter fast again like I normally can. So that was super positive.
“I feel like we've got a good opportunity to be fast. It’s a pity we need to climb through the Q1 because of the crash. But other than that, I'm happy. I think we'll be OK. Pedrosa, the quickest RC16 in eighth this morning, explained: “In the morning we did a good job and we were confident for the afternoon. Unfortunately, in the afternoon, I was having a hard time with one of the bikes.
