“Today was fantastic to finish a main race again — the last two I messed up,” said Binder, who had finished at the back of the field in the US and Argentina GPs. On Sunday, Miller, second on the grid, and Binder, fourth, took the early lead with the Australian leading Binder through the first corner. In the second corner, Fabio Quartararo, Miguel Oliveira and Marco Bezzecchi, the world championship leader, crashed heavily with Oliveira dislocating his shoulder, forcing the race to be red flagged.
Binder was not done and came back hard on Bagnaia, braking deeper and deeper into corners, finding extra speed and putting in his fastest lap of the race.
