In Binder, they have a rider who is more than ready to win a MotoGP™ title. The South African finished sixth in the overall standings last season having claimed three P2s in Qatar, Japan and Valencia respectively. KTM didn’t have the machine completely dialled in last season to allow Binder to regularly be a podium challenger, so expectations were high coming into 2023 pre-season that this was the year where they could be a podium threat all season long.
