Binder is ecstatic following his victory in the Czech Republic and he is hoping to record more victories in the future.
"Honestly, right now I'm lost for words. This is a day I've dreamt about since I was a little boy and today it came true," Binder said.
"It's amazing to win in MotoGP, I wish my parents were here, thanks to everyone who's here. I can't thank my team enough.
"They put an insane motorbike underneath me this weekend. Hats off to the guys for doing an unbelievable job. I hope this is the start of many more."
