Brad Binder is happy to announce that he has finished watching the Grands Prix on television. This weekend, at Mugello, he will find his Moto2 KTM left for three events to the factory test rider for this program Ricard Cardus. The South African, reigning Moto3 World Champion, is doing better since his new operation on his left forearm. However, it will not be in great shape.
The teammate of a Miguel Oliveira who will defend his fourth place in the championship this weekend in Italy is happy to announce his return. Badly affected after a fall during the off-season, Brad Binder first started his first season in Moto2 before throwing in the towel after two meetings. The plate placed in his left forearm no longer fulfilled its function, so that a new surgery was necessary.
For Mugello, Binder appears to be operational. Or almost : " nothing gives me more pleasure than being back in competition and the weekends have been long watching the Grands Prix on television. I'm relieved because I think this third operation was essential and I feel like my arm is recovering properly. The other two above seemed more complicated to me ».
The fact remains that the driver is aware that he will not be able this Sunday to repeat a victory won last year in Moto3: “ I am of course not 100% recovered. But I think I can run. Mugello is a track on which I have always loved driving. I had my first podium there in the Red Bull Rookies Cup and I won there last year. This route has always been good for me. However, this weekend will first be dedicated to evaluating my arm and after that we will see what needs to be done. ».
After his ninth place in Argentina and his three withdrawals, Brad Binder points nineteenth in the championship.
