MotoGP went under the spotlight for round four and the annual trip to the Lusail International Circuit for the sole night race on the Grand Prix slate.
The grid lights went out for the main race but the big track lights stayed on for the 22-lap MotoGP spin, seeing Brad Binder battle all race long but sadly unable to find the grip he needed to advance up the order, finishing in 13th from 18th on the grid. All the KTM RC16s grabbed points in Qatar.
2025 MotoGP now reverts to the central continent. The atmospheric Circuito de Jerez-Angel Nieto will host the Spanish Grand Prix in two weeks’ time and will be followed by the first one-day IRTA test.
Brad Binder
13th and 12th in the championship standings:
“Not much better today. It was tough. We tried to change some set-up in the race and it felt quite decent until about ten laps when I started to have massive understeer and I was spinning a lot on the tire. With five laps to go the rear was toasted. It was a really tricky weekend and my guys tried so many things to help me be comfortable. It was super-good to see Maverick do so well and it will be good for us to see what he did differently and how we can learn from it.”
