**Technical Troubles: Brad Binder’s KTM Woes at the British MotoGP**

Uncovered: The Issue with Brad Binder’s KTM at the British MotoGP

Brad Binder clarifies the mishap on the Silverstone starting grid

Brad Binder's participation in the British MotoGP never took off.

The KTM factory racer started from the sixth position on the grid but encountered a technical problem right away, causing him to struggle at the start and allowing everyone else to pass him within seconds.

Binder's race came to an abrupt halt, and he later expressed his frustration to the media, including Crash.net.

"I don't have a lot to talk about," he said with a sigh.

"I reached the starting line. As I began to move, I experienced a minor clutch problem that prevented me from taking off."

"And that's the conclusion of the tale."

Binder provided further details about his clutch, stating, "It began to slip as soon as I set off and, unfortunately, it remained that way."

"It began to slide as I attempted to take off. I made an effort to free it, but it was uncooperative."

"I attempted to return to the pit area to change bikes, but I couldn't make it."

He claimed there were no issues until he reached the starting line: "Everything was fine. When I got to the grid, I struggled to find neutral. I thought, 'oh no…'"

“Then, it was clear that the bike was inching forward at the starting line. I had a sense of what was about to happen.

"I did my utmost to remain low and raise my hand, preparing myself for any potential blows. Fortunately, no one struck me."

Michael Laverty from TNT Sports provided his analysis on the issue, explaining, "They failed to turn off the fuel-saving mode after the sighting lap."

"Regrettably, this isn't the first time it has occurred

"They used a map designed to save fuel during the sighting lap. When they reached the grid, they were supposed to switch back to the race map."

Binder was unfortunately hopeful that KTM had resolved certain issues at Silverstone.

"This morning, we completely changed everything," he stated.

"We incorporated entirely new elements that we hadn't utilized for a long time, and I achieved high speed on medium tires."

“We put in a significant effort to optimize our tires, aiming to improve lap times since we experienced a lot of spinning. Consequently, our tire wear was substantial. It would have been challenging to maintain good performance throughout the entire duration.”
