168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder has retained the faith of KTM despite his difficult 🦹seaꦡson.

His struggles meant𝓰 that the quietest whispers about his future were muttered, but KTM moved to quickly shut down any idea that 🐓he would be replaced.

Instead, his teammate Jack Miller has lost out as Pedro Acosta joins Binder in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 MotoGP rider line-up as a factory KTM rider.

“Acosta is undoubtedly a huge talent. But t🃏hat doesn’t mean we are excluding Brad,” Pierer Mobility Group board member Hubert Trunkenpolz told .

“Brad has be⭕en really unlucky this year; so many liꦓttle things have gone wrong with him.

“But we d♍on’t abandon a rider in a situation like this.

“We know Binder is extrem꧙ely fast and can win MotoGP races.

“He has shown that time and time again �𒁏�with us - in all three GP classes.

“At the moment, a few things are not fitting together ꦰtechnically with B🐓rad, so we have to help him a bit with the bike.

“We ha𓂃ve gone in a direction with his bike that has helped him on the traction side, but no longer gives him the feeling at the limit that he needs for top results.”

Bind✅er was a title co🅷ntender for much of last season, the best-performing non-Ducati rider.

He eventually finished fourth in 2023 but ꦛhasn’t sustained that form, 🍌or improved upon it, this year.

After finishing second in the seas💟on-opener in Qatar, Binder has rarely troubled the front-runners.

Teenag🧸e rookie Acosta has, instead,🃏 been the best-performing KTM rider.

Binder has struggled to ge𝐆t to grips with the RC16 at recent rounds, and he fell out of the lead🧜 in the Catalunya sprint.
