Red Bull KTM take Binder into Moto2 for 2017

Moto3 champion-elect Brad Binder will remain with the Red Bull KTM team in 2017 but move up to Moto2 as the squad enters the middleweight class for the first time.

Binder put one hand on the tiddler-class title at Misano and he will be joined by Miguel Oliveira who switches away from the Leopard team where he partners reigning Moto3 champ Danny Kent.

"First of all I want to say I am very grateful for this new opportunity given to me by the team in Moto2. I want to thank Aki Ajo and all the people and partners who have been helping so I could take this step up. After how this year has been, there is nothing that could excite me more than staying at Red Bull KTM Ajo and competing in Moto2,” said Binder.

“I really like this team; I like the respect between all the members and I know that the decisions they make are always the best to keep the team and riders on top.

“I know it will be very difficult, but I'm very motivated for this and I am already looking forward to it. It will be nice to start in a new class, with everything new and a lot to learn. My goal is to go out each day and give 110% to learn as quickly as possible. I am very happy to be back sharing a garage with Miguel [Oliveira], I learned a lot from him in 2015 and sure we will push each other; we will have fun. Everyone knows that if Red Bull KTM Ajo make a motorcycle, it will be good."
