What REALLY Went Wrong With Brad Binder? | MotoGP News 2025

Brad Binder, a South African motorcycle rider, faced a controversial race start delay at the Americas Grand Prix, resulting in chaos and technical issues. The race was disrupted by unpredictable conditions, with rainfall before the sighting lap. Poleman Marc Marquez made a split-second decision to switch to slick tires, causing a mass exodus of riders. The start was delayed, as MotoGP regulations require more than 10 riders to switch bikes. KTM's motorsport boss, Pit Beirer, criticized the officiating, calling it "unprofessional." Binder, along with Enea Bastianini and Ai Ogura, had correctly chosen slick tires, but the delay nullified their strategic advantage. Trackhouse team boss Davide Brivio also expressed frustration with the officiating.
