After four races in the top 10, South African rider Darryn Binder suffered his first zero-point finish since the Sachsenring Grand Prix, despite making a good start. From the twentieth spot on the grid, the 26-year-old shot straight up five positions into the points. In the course of the race, the rider with the number 15 even reached P13, but as the laps progressed, Darryn had less and less to counter with due to diminishing grip on the rear, which ultimately led to the loss of three positions and thus also to the loss of further championship points.

“I’m really disappointed with how today’s race went. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy starting from P20 on the grid, but at the same time, I knew I had the rhythm and pace to get into the top ten. I had a good start, found my rhythm and by the middle of the race I felt comfortable. But then I struggled with the rear grip and went slightly backwards from then on. We need to analyze with the team, why we lost so much grip towards the end of the race, because two weeks ago I felt very good even in the final stages of the race, but this week it was completely different. So, I’m disappointed with the result, but we fly to Indonesia tomorrow and I’m really looking forward. I like the places we race there.”
