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

Lowes was𝓀 unable to avoid the South African, who even apologised for end🌼ing the Marc VDS rider’s race.

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

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

“I've hurt my back so we will ha🥀ve to get some further checks to see what they say.ඣ Hopefully, I'll be back as soon as possible."

An initial CTꦿ🐼 scan showed a 'fracture of the 3rd vertebral body'.

Former RNF Yamaha MotoGP rider Binder previously mi💫ssed two rounds due to hand fractures at COTA.

“This is the second serious injury he has had to deal with this season,” said Intact 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, i𒉰t was over far too early.

"Now we hop൲e he r꧙ecovers quickly and comes back stronger."

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