It was with its two RC16s in the points that the official KTM team left the Sepang site which was the scene of the last Malaysian Grand Prix, the penultimate round of the season and the first in the world afterwards. After mixed qualifying on Saturday, Brad Binder was able to take advantage of the excellent tire management of his RC16, achieving a positive eighth place for his morale and that of the team. 13th was the place of his teammate Miguel Oliveira.
Brad Binder left Malaysia with these words: “ we have learned a lot in the last six weeks. I have to say thank you to my team for doing an incredible job. They gave their all in every session ».
« Unfortunately, the result of Sunday's race was not the best and we still need to improve to reach the level we want. However, it's only a matter of time » finishes the South African.

Miguel Oliveira completed: “ a difficult race. At the start I felt like I could be fast and I worked my way into the top ten. I thought this might be a good result, but around rounds 10/11 I started to get problems with the rear tire. I couldn't stop the bike and this often led me to end up off the road. ».
« It was frustrating, but after so many distant races, we are happy to be back home. We will go to the grand final with a lot of motivation. We got a win in this away game and a top five finish and this is what we still have to aim for in Valencia »concludes the winner of the Thai Grand Prix.
