Brad Binder: Sprint races ‘takes its toll, but it’s what I enjoy”

1 years ago By Sports Desk

MotoGP rider Brad Binder shared his perspective on sprint races, emphasizing that he finds these features valuable in the sport despite the additional demands. When sprint races were introduced for the first time in MotoGP history last season, there were mixed opinions among the riders. Binder, who achieved two victories in the sprint format in 2023, drew attention to the increasing physical difficulties of these races.

In an interview with Speedweek, Binder said: “It’s weird because last year I felt like sprint racing was generally more physically demanding. In the main race you have to watch for tire wear and stuff like that, but in the sprint you have to be in attack mode from the first lap. It’s a ten or twelve lap race. “It’s like a qualifying session. Frankly, I prefer the sprint because I like to push the limits rather than trying to reach the finish on the tyres.” said.

While some drivers were concerned that sprint races would increase the overall intensity of the calendar, Binder stated that he had a different attitude on this issue and emphasized his commitment to the races and their performances. “I can’t go home every week. I’m basically in Europe from January to December. For me it’s all about racing, performing well and doing my job. I enjoy racing. That’s all I want to do. Of course, that’s like too much “It’s starting to show. We’ve been traveling constantly for many weeks already. With two races per weekend, each driver takes a lot of effort and a lot of risks. Yes, it really takes its toll, but at the end of the day I like it.” he said.

There are planned to be 44 races in the 2024 MotoGP calendar; The Kazakhstan Grand Prix is expected to take place for the first time. This number may increase to 46 when Hungary joins the calendar in 2025. While sprint racing brings additional challenges, Binder’s perspective reflects his love of the sport and the excitement of pushing the limits in racing.
