Red Bull KTM’s Brad Binder can seal the Moto3 World Championship at this weekend’s Aragon MotoGP round and then relax for the remaining four races of the season before moving up to Moto2.
The South African has dominated so far this year and goes into the Spanish race weekend with a 106-point advantage over Enea Bastianini with 125 points left available in 2016.
"Motorland Aragon is one of my favourite tracks. It is great fun and I've always enjoyed riding there. We will have to work hard from FP1 to go into the race prepared to try for the win again. Last year I was second on the last lap when, with two corners remaining, an incident took me out of the race. I hope this year we will have more luck. I am really looking forward to the GP, because it will be the first opportunity to clinch the title, and we will try to do it,” said Binder.
