Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Brad Binder is hoping to have an incident-free
Grand Prix of the Americas on Sunday, April 10.
The South African kicked off the 2022 season impressively with a P2 in the Qatar Grand Prix as he finished just 0.346 seconds behind Gresini Racing's Enea Bastianini.

However, Binder encountered difficulties with his KTM bike in the Indonesian Grand Prix and could only manage P8 in the wet weather as a result.
The 26-year-old then committed an error during qualifying for the Argentine Grand Prix, which led to him starting 12th on the grid and he secured P6 in the end after struggling to pass his competitors on the track.

"I made a big mistake in qualifying, which was clear, which I think really hurt me today because it wasn't easy to try and get through the field," he said.
"For some reason today I really struggled to pass a lot of the riders. But to have ended up coming across the line in sixth place was a good points haul – not where I want to be by any means.
"I would've loved to be fighting for the podium today and I really thought I was going to be capable of it, but it wasn't to be."
