Brad Binder recovered from a shocking qualifying that saw him start the Dutch MotoGP in P2𒊎1, as he gained an impressi๊ve nine spots to finish 12th.

Bi♓nder having good pace come race day and therefore making up places has become one of the surest bets in 2021 so꧒ far. 

Although Binder star🌜ted the German GP much furtꦦher up - 13th place, it was a similar story in that one as he came through to claim fourth - another nice place improvement. 

Binder was surprisingly joined on the back-row of the grid by eight-time world champion Marc Marquez for yesterday’s race, as the Spaniard made an even better ♍comeback - 20th to 🌺seventh. 

Unlike Marquez who made up eight places on the opening lap, it took the South African a bit longer to ❀make his way through the pack after not having ‘the speed in the first stages of the race’. 

🐼The KTM man added: "Difficultꦏ race for me. Starting in 21st and trying to pass the guys in the beginning, and then I clearly didn’t have the speed in the first stages of the race. 

"As the l🎃aps went down I started to improve my riding at different points on the track and went quicker. At the end I could match my quickest time on the last lap. 

"I’m glad I made an improvement, but I lost too much time early on. It was an up-and-down weekend and I got a bit lost b꧒ut I gave ‘my all’ in the race.&🍌nbsp;

"I was a bit disap🌜pointedꦍ with 12th but we’ll re-group and come back stronger in the next phase of the season."
