Brad Binder was one of the protagonists of Sunday’s race, but not for the best reasons. We have already reported here that the South African rider took full responsibility for the collision with Miguel Oliveira, stating, however, that he could do nothing to avoid Luca Marini.
The #33 of Red Bull KTM also said in a debrief that the situation could have been much worse, reinforcing that he was sure that the brake problem would not be repeated – as he had already reported it to the team previously – after having carried out the Sprint race without any problem:
– What happens is that at the end of the day it doesn’t matter what happens because you have the responsibility of not hitting anyone on the track. We are not here to put others in danger. I had a moment earlier where my brakes opened, but I hadn’t in the race, so I thought the guys had fixed the problem. The reality is that if you have a big shake, they open it. What I can say is that I was very lucky because even with the lever glued to my fingers, I still had some pressure, because if I didn’t have anything, whoever I hit or whatever happened, it would have been at a much higher speed. Unfortunately, things like this can happen, and as I said, I’m really sorry for them. It is never the intention of any of the riders to cause this to others.
