Brad Binder is scrambling to save his MotoGP career for the 2027 season after losing his KTM factory seat to Fabio Di Giannantonio.
It was announced this week that VR46 rider Di Giannantonio will join KTM next season alongside Alex Marquez, the latter replacing young Spanish superstar Pedro Acosta, who is moving from KTM to Ducati.
Binder’s KTM contract ends at the end of this year but any chance the South African may be re-signed has been thwarted by a poor run of form, which sees him lying 13th in the championship after five rounds. Binder had a terrible outing in France last weekend, qualifying second last before finishing 12th and out of the points in Saturday’s sprint race and crashing out of Sunday’s main race.
