The 5.9km length and 18 corners of Silverstone was complicated further for 20 long laps of the United Kingdom Grand Prix. Late spring British weather varied between heavy showers in the morning to blue skies and fluctuating temperatures. MotoGP warm-up was run on a wet track but the gusts helped to dry the course.
All four KTM RC16 riders had to opt for the best tire choice to cope with the (normally) high consumption at Silverstone. They also had to throttle hard to obtain positions on the first laps while preserving optimum grip for the full distance.
Having endured a tough Qualifying, Brad worked hard throughout the race to finish in fourteenth position.
MotoGP heads back to Spain for the second time this season and into the weave of corners and speed that is the MotorLand Aragon circuit for the Grand Prix of Aragon in two weeks.
Brad Binder
14th and 14th in the championship standings
“A tough weekend for us here in Silverstone. Qualifying was difficult, we didn’t finish the Sprint and the race today was also tough. I got a good start before the red flag and didn’t on the second start. I struggled with confidence and to know where I could push and where I couldn’t. As soon as I started to feel OK then I would have some ‘moments’. It’s hard at the moment. We need to figure things out a little bit and step-up for Aragon.”
