12th on the grid for Binder as MotoGP™ gets busy in Argentina

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

MotoGP 2022 - Round 03 of 21, Termas del Rio Hondo (Argentina) – Qualification

MotoGP returned to the flat and fast #termasderiohondo circuit in western #argentina for the first time since 2019 and it was Red Bull #ktm Factory Racing’s #bradbinder who was the fastest qualifier on a #ktm RC16 for round three tomorrow.

  • Third consecutive Q2 qualification cut for Binder who moves to 11th late on Saturday

  • All three classes have just one day of practice and qualification

  • Moto3™ joy for rookie Daniel Holgado with a second row slot in 6th

  • Augusto Fernandez 2nd on the grid once again in Moto2™

The return to #argentina and the atmospheric circuit - that has been the home for #motogp for the last six editions of the Grand Prix - began in difficult fashion. Late freight arrivals for sections of the paddock meant the organizers were forced to cancel Friday’s Free Practice schedule and install a condensed timetable for Moto3, Moto2 and #motogp on Saturday only. The format meant even less time for the teams and riders to set-up their bikes for the sunny and warm conditions.

Red Bull #ktm saw Binder go straight into Q2. The South African blitzed to a pacey lap in FP1 and then FP2 despite a technical setback as Oliveira entered narrowly missed Q2 by just three tenths of a second. Binder, who had qualified 7th and 4th in the previous two rounds, set the 8th quickest lap on his first attempt and then was vying for a Pole time through his last try but a small mistake in the third sector through Turn 7 ended his quest. He finished in 12th but was elevated to 11th after Jack Miller's rule infringement.

Tech3 #ktm Factory Racing’s Raul Fernandez was 21st and only six thousandths of a second faster than Remy Gardner in 22nd. The #motogp race starts at 20.00 CET on Sunday.

Brad Binder: “A really good day except for the last exit! I’m really happy with the bike and how we have worked today. It was a little bit of a special format and I was able to learn the track quickly and be competitive right away. My pace on worn tires is really good and I’m super-happy with the feeling I have when the grip goes away. I was unlucky in qualifying but I had my normal feeling back when I changed to the final set of tires. I was coming around fast but unfortunately I made a small mistake when I nudged my gear lever under braking; shifting an extra gear when you are meant to be braking doesn’t help. I’m a bit frustrated because of that, we should have been on the first two rows, but I’m ready to fight tomorrow.”

Miguel Oliveira: “A tough day and not quite what we are used to. We were very close to the top ten after Free Practice but we didn’t get in. Overall, I struggled with rear grip, so I hope we can find a solution for tomorrow and we can have a good race.” 

Raul Fernandez: “It was only my second time here in #argentina and I think that we had a positive day. During Free Practice 1, I felt like I had too much work to do and I was not understanding things very well. Between the sessions, the team worked well and I was able to considerably improve during FP2. The positive feelings on the bike came back and we were able to produce a session with a good race pace. I think that tomorrow’s race will be interesting for us, so I will try to enjoy it!”

Remy Gardner:“Today overall has been a tough day. I crashed during Free Practice 2 and lost a bit of confidence at the same time. I think that we need to improve our qualifying sessions because at the moment it is our weak point. We have another forty minutes tomorrow to improve and hopefully find a better direction for the race.”

Moto3 & Moto2

The Moto3 and Moto2 classes also endured the rush of the reduced track time, and for riders such as Red Bull #ktm Tech3’s Deniz Öncü and Adrian Fernandez and Red Bull #ktm Ajo’s Daniel Holgado Saturday’s session provided a first taste of Termas (Jaume Masia had raced in #argentina in 2019). Holgado was the fastest Academy #ktm RC4 runner through Q2 to grasp 6th on the grid: a personal best for the rookie so far. Joel Kelso was the top #ktm rider in 4th.

Red Bull #ktm Ajo’s Augusto Fernandez was just a tenth of a second away from Pole Position in Moto2. The Spaniard pushes away from the middle of the front row for the 23-lap race tomorrow. Rookie teammate Pedro Acosta was 17th.
