Brad Binder really is stuck between a rock and a hard place. The harder the Red Bull KTM rider tries to regain his best form and to prolong his MotoGP career in doing so, the more he struggles to make an impact.
Binder finished the Hungary Grand Prix in 10th place on Sunday, but he would have struggled to finish in the points had five riders ahead of him not crashed out on the first lap. Three of the casualties who went down on the very first corner at Balaton Park were Marco Bezzecchi, Jorge Martin and Fabio Di Giannantonio, the top three in the title race.
Binder, whose factory KTM contract expires at the end of the season and still hasnt secured a ride for 2027, again struggled to progress to Q2 on Saturday. He could only qualify in 17th place and finished the sprint race in a lowly 16th place on Saturday.
