Changeable weather conditions in southern Spain finally settled on sunshine and blue skies for the 40th year of MotoGP at the Circuito de Jerez. The 4.4km course is one of the most familiar on the Grand Prix calendar thanks to its constant presence both as a world championship host and testing venue.
The Grand Prix began with Pedro Acosta, Enea Bastianini and Brad Binder starting from P6, P8 and P13 on the grid respectively.
For the duration of the race Brad circulated on the edge of the first ten positions and made sure of 11th at the flag, just behind teammate Acosta.
After the one-day IRTA test on Monday in Jerez, the historic Le Mans circuit will host the popular Grand Prix of France in two weeks.
Brad Binder
11th and 11th in the championship:
“It was a long race. I got a decent enough start but then missed some speed and the front pushed when I leant in [to corners]. To control it I had to brake earlier. When the tire performance dropped then I could get in easier but it was really tricky and very hard to be clean. A more difficult race than I anticipated and we need this test tomorrow to figure out some changes to hit the point.”
