In Moto3, it is not good to get injured and thus have to give up your place for one or two races. Because it's an opportunity for young people with long teeth who are cutting their teeth in CEV for example, to go on stage and show that they already have what it takes to replace you full time. So, Darryn Binder must be impatient to get back on his KTM from the Platinum Bay Real Estate team. In Brno, his absence actually allowed Dennis Foggia to burst onto the world and in Austria, we discovered another phenomenon: Jaume Masià

He's 16 years old, he's never driven on the Red Bull Ring, but he wowed the gallery by taking his place alongside Marco Ramirez in an Austrian Moto3 Grand Prix in which he finished ninth, just over four seconds behind the winner, Joan mir. Before the checkered flag, he livened up the race by presenting himself for a moment as a contender for the podium and he qualified fourteenth.

The Spaniard comes from Algemesi and trained at Estrella Galicia before moving to the Ricardo Tormo circuit school. A hell of a structure if we judge by the names of the riders who came out of it: Mir, Arón Canet, Martín, Ramírez and Herrera who are in Moto3, Morbidelli, Jorge Navarro and Garzo who are in Moto2 and Héctor Barberá with Loris Baz , who are teammates in MotoGP. A school which is directed by Julian Miralles.

Finally, at the end of the Austrian race, rumor has it that the men of Jorge Martinez approached him for a position on the future KTM of the Aspar team. It would be alongside Migno whose absence would be filled by Foggia. Darryn binder must definitely regret his injury!
