Brad Binder, who turned 24 on race day, rode to his first Moto2 victory of the season with a strong and defiant performance at the Red Bull Ring. The South African repelled a number of challenges from other riders after making a great start from the front row of the grid and held on for the RC12’s maiden win in 2019 (also his third podium appearance). Teammate Jorge Martin captured his best result of a debut Moto2 year by finishing 7th.



Brad Binder: “This is definitely better than buying myself something for my birthday! It was a great race and a great day in front of all the KTM fans and Red Bull here at their home grand prix. It has been a difficult year but for the last few races we have been moving in the right direction and I hope we can finish the season strongly.”



The Moto3 Grand Prix was won by Romano Fenati after an unusually compact three rider fight. The top KTM RC4 runner was SKY Racing Team VR46’s Celestino Vietti in 4th position. Red Bull KTM Ajo’s Can Öncü crashed out while his twin Deniz made it to 17th in only his second Grand Prix. Aron Canet classified 10th but remains in title contention; slipping to 2nd in the standings behind Lorenzo Dalla Porta.



After back-to-back events MotoGP will break for a week before heading to the UK for the GoPro British Grand Prix at Silverstone on the last weekend of the month.



Next race: August 25th, Silverstone, GoPro British Grand Prix (GBR)
