Local MotoGP racer Brad Binder had an unfortunate ending at the Qatar Grand Prix this past weekend.

The races took place on the Lusail International Circuit from November 6 to 8, and according to the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team, he experienced a technical issue in the Grand Prix race on Sunday and was forced into the pits and out of the race.

Binder explained, in the beginning stages of the race, it seemed that there were no issues, however, he soon after started to experience shifts being missed and huge vibrations occurring, where he knew that was it.

“Unfortunate … but it was a tricky weekend, and I’m looking forward to starting fresh in Portimao. I need to understand what I need to do differently to find a bit more speed,” he concluded.

Binder is currently 12th in the Championship standings and will race again from November 20 to 22 at the Portuguese Grand Prix.
