South African Brad Binder will stay in MotoGP until at least the end of 2024 after signing a contract extension with the works KTM team.
The 25-year-old progressed through the KTM GP Academy structure. He competed in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, earned Moto3 world championship success as well as 15 Grand Prix wins in both the Moto3 and Moto2 categories with the Red Bull KTM Ajo squad, and then seized the factory’s maiden victory in the premier class during his debut term on the KTM RC16 during 2020, where he also achieved the status of ‘Rookie of the Year’.
Binder posted a new milestone at the Mugello last weekend by equaling the highest top speed in the history of the sport at 362.4kph
“I’m super, super happy to have signed again for three more seasons with KTM and it will take us up to ten years. It’s incredible to have been with this manufacturer for such a long time now and we’ve always had a good relationship,” said Binder.
“I’m extremely happy in KTM colors so it’s extra satisfying to have a long contract signed-up. It’s cool to have that belief and support from a company. It’s an honour.
“From here on we can focus on building ourselves towards the front. We are not terribly far away, and it would be really nice to do something great together. It’s exciting to see what these next years will bring.”
