MotoGP landed in Brazil for the first time in more than two decades for round two of the 2026 world championship and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing earned a best finish of P9 in the Sprint at the revamped Ayrton Senna International Circuit in Goiânia.
MotoGP received a wet welcome in Brazil as torrential downpours complicated the schedule at the renovated Ayrton Senna International Circuit in the build-up to the fixture and then during Thursday and Friday. Practice sessions finally got underway but complicated the time needed by riders and teams to discover the 3.8km course, as well as set their bikes up accordingly for the 15-lap Sprint on Saturday and 31-lap distance on Sunday.
Brad Binder qualified 21st. The South African made a decent getaway from his grid slot and battled inside the top 13. He eventually crossed the line with 15th.

21st in qualification, 15th in the Sprint
“Just missing a bit of pace. Not much more to say. In the race I got a great start and was up to 12th place but then I could not do anything from there. Anyway, there is definitely big room to improve on our base for tomorrow. All things considered I think we can do a good job, at least better than today.”
