MotoGP: Official Programme Thailand 2024 | Page 37

A huge year for the South African , who just fell short of KTM ’ s goal of finishing inside the top three in the championship in 2023 . At times the bike let him down . But in others race-craft or mistakes were his undoing . Yet Binder was still comfortably the top KTM , and the rider most capable of providing a regular challenge to the hoard of Ducatis . Going off KTM ’ s early season form , a first win since 2021 shouldn ’ t be far away for the 2016 Moto3™ World Champion after he scored a strong second in Qatar . Both he and the factory were aiming to challenge for the title this year but Binder and KTM have been going through a tricky period midseason .
