Brad Binder beat Pedro Acosta to be the best KTM: ‘If it had been for the World Championship…; Being fifth was nice’
In addition to the fights that would define the final podium of the 2024 MotoGP World Championship, there was also an interesting battle for fifth place and which KTM rider would take it: rookie Pedro Acosta or Brad Binder.
In the end, the South African was the Austrian manufacturer’s best performer, finishing fifth overall, after Acosta had experienced some difficulties during the weekend in Barcelona, and was even forced to abandon Saturday’s Sprint after the front fairing of his bike was ripped off by Marc Márquez’s bike.
Happy to have been KTM’s best representative, Binder would nevertheless have liked the fight to have been for the title, but was satisfied with the position he finished in: ‘It was important to finish fifth in the championship, especially if you think about the crazy year we’ve had. If it had been for the world title it would have been a different story, but fifth place was nice’.
