MotoGP™ rounded the overcast Termas de Rio Hondo circuit for the second round of the season and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Brad Binder was the highest classified racer after 25 laps by taking his KTM RC16 to 7th place in Argentina.
The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing and Red Bull KTM Tech3 teams advanced their development for the 2025 KTM RC16 with another busy and useful Grand Prix race this season. All four riders probed the limits of adhesion and possibilities through the 4.8km layout in northern Argentina for the first event back at Termas in two years.
Brad Binder was the most competitive runner from the quartet. The South African burst into the top six in the opening laps from 11th on the grid in a typically feisty performance. He couldn’t go with the pace of the top five and had to conserve his tires and grip in the last third of the race. 7th was an improvement over the points taken in Thailand.
Brad Binder
7th and 8th in the championship standings:
“I’m happy because I gave absolutely everything I had from the first lap. Also happy to get some points after what happened yesterday. I had a decent enough start and tried to go with the guys. I knew it would be tricky once we had our tire drop but I did my best and tried to make zero mistakes. Unfortunately, 7th was a good as it was going to be today. We are strong in braking and entry but we need to find more grip on the edge of the rear tire. Once we do that then life will get much easier for us.”
