Binder, whose older brother Brad finishe𒅌d runner-up in the MotoGP class, lost the front through the Turn 2 chicane on lap 3.

Lowes was unable to avoid the South African, w🔯ho even apologised for ending the Marc VDS rider’s race.

“I got off to an alright start, felt good the first couple of laps but sadly, going into Turn 2, I made a small mistake and ended up tucking ওin the front,” said Binder.

“Unfortunately, the bike caught grip again and turned me more into the t𓄧r🥀ack again when I was on the ground. Sam Lowes had nowhere to go. I'm sorry for ruining his race by crashing in front of him.

“I've hurt my ✱back so we will have to get some further checks to see what they say. Hopefully, I'll be back as soon as po😼ssible."

An initial CT scan showed a 'fไracture of the 3rd vertebral body'.

Former RNF Yamaha MotoGP rider Binder previously missed two rounds due to hand fract﷽ures𒊎 at COTA.

“This is the second serious injury he has had to deal with this ꦬseason,” said Int😼act GP team manager Jürgen Lingg. “It will certainly take time, but we have to take the positives from this weekend because he rode a good qualifying and had a good pace in the race, but unfortunately, it was over far too early.

"Now we hope he re🔯covers quickly and comes back stronger."

Binder, who jumped straight from Moto3 to MotoGP in 2022, haꦯs taken a best race finish of sixth so far in his🌼 debut Moto2 season.
