KTM MotoGP rider Brad Binder says “everything continues a🤪s normal⛦” with the project amid the Pierer Mobility Group’s recent board of directors downsizing.

Earlier this week 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:the Austrian firm announced that four of six directors have been removed from its board amid a poor financial outlook for PMG due - according to the company - to the recession in Germany and the high cost of living in the 📖United States of America.

This has led to questions about the racing project at PMG, th๊ough it has insisted that its activities will not be affec🐷ted.

When asked for his thoughts on the matter, B🍎inder said on Thursday ahead of the Thai Grand Prix:  𝐆“Well, for me, my understand is everything continues as normal.

“And the only thin⛄g I can do is try to win so🍨me races.

“𓄧Apparently what wins on Sunday se𝓀lls on Monday. So, that’s my new motivation here and let’s see what happens.”

The financial underperformance of PMG comes off the back of a largely difficult year in MotoGP for the brand, which is yet to win a race in 2024 with three rounds 🀅remaining.

While it is second in the constructors’ championsh🔜ip, it is some 326 points shy of runaway winner Ducati in the standings.

In the riders’ table, Binder is it🌄s leader in fifth, but is 232 points behind fourth𒅌 and hasn’t been on the podium since the opening round of the season in Qatar.

He is loc🌃ked in a tight battle for fifth with KTM rookie Pedro Aco💯sta, who is 11 points adrift of the South African having scored four grand prix podiums this year.

When ✤asked if it was important to beat Acosta in the standings this year, Binder replied: “For me𒊎, it’s really simple.

“Well, not just me but my entire team. None of us want t🍸o be finishing where we are each weekend.

“We want to be a lot further up the grid and I feel like we need to keep focusing on what we do on the circuit and take🌺 advantage of every single lap.

“And if we do that, the 𒉰results on Sat🦩urday and Sunday will be better, and the championship and the rest takes care of itself.

“So, I think really just focus on the job I can do in the 💫present moment and of course if I ca♚n do that well the rest will sort itself out.”
