"They've become exceptional," he says Red about team progress KTM. “I think if Paul hadn’t fallen, we would have celebrated a double victory. Their motorcycle is extremely fast. Binder and Espargaro also contribute a lot to the development, and at the same time they are exceptional racers. I think they are the favorites for the next races in Austria. ”

Red crossed the finish line as the fifth. With the exception of first and second place, he had the other drivers practically in front of him. "It was a really good race," the Italian nodded contentedly.

Brad Binder was a class of his own in Brno.

“We were in severe heat in Jerez and here in Brno there is nothing different. The asphalt temperature was also very high. If it rains in Austria, as the weather forecast shows, that's not good news for me, because I don't like driving in the rain. ” The next two weekends will feature two major prizes at the racetrack Red Bull Ring in Spielberg.
