A🌌 position currently held by Ducati after winning all three world titles in 2022, while the 2023 MotoGP season has so far continued in the same vein. 

However, KTM’s performances so far🎶 this season, especially in the hands of Binder, have been strong enough to suggest a serious challenge is coming Ducati’s way for the remainder of this season and beyond.&🦩nbsp;

• Marquez “super happy to continue with Gresini, ꦜfelt at home from the first day” 
• Bezzecchi: ‘Plan A’ still to stay wi🌊th VR46, future clea🍸r by Barcelona?

Binder himself believes he’s ready to fight for a world title with KTM, and he’s not the o♎nly rider who thinks highly of the Austrian brand as Honda’s Marc Marquez recently 𒅌admitted that he sees KTM being the manufacturer to beat in the near future.

Responding to Marquez’s comments, Binder said: "I can definitely believe it. With the effort they puಞt in, it’s incredible. 

"I’m honoured to be ﷽a part of this package. Every weekend I see what effort the guys put in. When they do reach the top, I hope that I’m their guy!

"It would෴ be really cool for KTM to have another two bikes on the grid. It would give us the opportunity to test more things."

After seemingly overtaking Aprilia as the second fastest bike, although Aleix Espargar💝o did his best to counter that argument by winning at Silverstone, Marquez said this: "Now they are the second best constructor in the championship, but very soon, more than people might think, they will be first."

KTM’s two wins so far♏ this season have come in the form of sprint victories, both of whicဣh were won by Binder.

But the South African, who won perhaps the craziest race of ꧂all-time in 2021 at the Red Bull Ring, is hoping to go one better and claim victory in the Grand Prix this weekend.

Binder stated: "It’s about time that I get one, right? It’s been cool to win sprint races but a 😼while since I won on a Sunday.

"At many circuits I’ve fought for the podium. I’ve made mistakes.🅠 With small tweaks, we’re in for a good shot.

"This is the closest I’ll have to a home grand prix for a while! Being home for KTM, it would be amꦬa꧃zing to win here. I’ve done it in Moto2 before.

"I have a lot of confidence, my bike haಌs been working exceptionally well rec🅷ently.

"I’m extremely proud to have raced fo🐎r nearly 10 years for an incredible manufacturer.

"The changes they’re making, how big it has become… To be par🐬t of the story is amazing. It gives me extra motivation to get the job right for them. With the massive effort t🅠hey put in, they deserve results."
