A short and tight layout at the Ayrton Senna International Circuit in Goiânia provided a fresh challenge for MotoGP as the teams worked towards optimum race set-up with Michelin hard carcass tires. A reduced 23-lap distance awaited the grid in the afternoon as 60,800 people gathered for the first Grand Prix in the country in 22 years.
Brad Binder began the GP from 21st and needed to make one of his customary hard charges in the early laps to gain ground and positions. The South African reached the limit of the points but then fell on lap four.

DNF and 9th in the championship
“Just a really short race. I started fast and passed a few guys at the beginning but then went into Turn 1, locked the front wheel and that was about it. I would definitely have enjoyed a few more laps. Onto America from here and we will see how we line-up.”

MotoGP landed in Brazil for the first time in more than two decades for round two of the 2026 world championship and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing earned a best finish of P9 in the Sprint at the revamped Ayrton Senna International Circuit in Goiânia.
MotoGP received a wet welcome in Brazil as torrential downpours complicated the schedule at the renovated Ayrton Senna International Circuit in the build-up to the fixture and then during Thursday and Friday. Practice sessions finally got underway but complicated the time needed by riders and teams to discover the 3.8km course, as well as set their bikes up accordingly for the 15-lap Sprint on Saturday and 31-lap distance on Sunday.
Brad Binder qualified 21st. The South African made a decent getaway from his grid slot and battled inside the top 13. He eventually crossed the line with 15th.

21st in qualification, 15th in the Sprint
“Just missing a bit of pace. Not much more to say. In the race I got a great start and was up to 12th place but then I could not do anything from there. Anyway, there is definitely big room to improve on our base for tomorrow. All things considered I think we can do a good job, at least better than today.”
