Overtake didn’t surprise Brad Binder: ‘I was going through there like a snail’
Brad Binder finished the MotoGP Austrian GP in fifth place, but he had been within the top four for several laps. However, he was eventually overtaken by Marc Márquez (Gresini/Ducati) in a surprising move at Turn 6 of the Red Bull Ring.
When asked if he was surprised by the maneuver, the South African replied: ‘I knew if anyone was going to pass me, it was going into [turn] 6/7, because with the amount of spinning through 5, I was going through there like a snail’.
Given his speed between Turns 5 and 7, Binder believes that Márquez might have been surprised by how slow he was in that section:
When he passed me, the next lap I could see he pulled a couple of tenths just in that one corner. So I think I probably surprised him by how slowly I was going around there to be honest.
