KTM’s Brad Binder has apologised to his 🌊team after two crashes t🌟ook him out of last weekend’s wet MotoGP French Grand Prix at Le Mans.

The South African rider didn’t qualify well at Le Mans, as he put his factory RC16 13th on the grid 𓆏having narrowly missed out on a Q2 place in qualifying.

He crashed in the sprint on Saturday, but was fancied as a bet for the podium in the rain-hit grand prix having last won a MotoGP race in Austria in 2021 while using s🌊lick tyres on a wet track.

But his race went🤡 off the rai꧋ls at the end of lap four when he crashed at the final corner.

He rejoined and served the double long lap penalty🍃 he was given for switching to s♎licks at the end of the sighting lap prior to the start, but wouldn’t make it back to pitlane to swap to his wet bike as he crashed a second time.

“Well, I was pretty sure that the slicks were the good choice for when we went out for the first start,” told MotoGP’s official websi✅te.

𝐆“I then it was soaked, the trac𝔉k was wet, so everyone came in.

“We put on the wets, went out again, quick start 🌊procedure and t🍌he track was bone dry.

“So, I decided to come in and put the slicks🦩 on - which was the good choice🍨 at the time.

“Three laps later it started to rain a bitജ heavier and everܫything seemed ok.

“I could manage the condition🃏s alright, but when we got to the last corner it seemed like it had rained there in the last two corners a bit and I didn’t quite notice that it had rained that amount.

“I threw it 🎐down the first time, picked the bike up, went and did the two long lap penalties for coming in before the race.

“I was planning to come in for the wets, because obviously the track was really ﷺwet and I lost the front at Turn 1.

ꦆ“Sorr𝓀y to my team. It’s really been a difficult weekend and it would have been nice to get them a really good result.”
