Brad Binder suffered a crash after contact with Maverick Vinales in Argentina, but the KTM rider says it was 100% a racing incident. MotoGP
The South African sensationally won the sprint race on Saturday at the Argentina GP despite starting 15th on the grid, but had no such luck in the full-distance contest on Sunday.
Binder was nudged slightly by the Aprilia of Vinales under braking for Turn 5 as the latter tried to make an overtake, with the KTM rider crashing. He was able to re-join and finished last of the 17 runners.Binder bears no grudge towards Vinales for the touch, and says he was already carrying bike damage prior to the crash.“I had quite a big shake, and then got to the next corner I pulled my front wake and pulled it into my fingers, so I pumped it a little bit.
“Luckily, I realised I was probably not going to have it, so I braked a bit earlier and went into the corner and I felt the slightest little nudge on my inside and it was just enough to spin the bike out. “Honestly, it was such a small touch. It’s 100% a racing incident. When the track is wet, the tiniest little shake can do anything. So, it just spun around on me and that was it.”
