Th💃is comes after Binder and KTM have made th🐎eir best start to a MotoGP season, as the South African has become a firm title contender.  

A🌊lthough he’s yet to win a Grand Prix this season, Binder has two wins in the sprint races and has been a constant thorn in Ducati’s side.

Bi🔯nder,💟 who joined Ayo’s project in 2015 before going on to win the Moto3 title a year later, has been part of the KTM set-up ever since.

A rider that oozed potential throughout the lower categories, Binder is now show𝄹ing his best form and consistency in 2023.

But Binder꧃, for as much as his talent has been on show, didn’t want to take much 𒆙credit as he instead lauded KTM for their improvements. 

Speaking to BT Sport after the French MotoGP at Le Mans, Binder added: "We’ve got a lot more potential than in any other season. I feel like I’m not riding too differently, but our level is so much🧸 higher than it has been.

"The first test, in Malaysia, I was not happy. We brought a different package. The first time it wa♏s all put to🐠gether was in Portimao and straightaway there was a click. I thought: ‘This is my bike and we can ride…’

"There are so many small things that came together for me to be where I am today. The critical point for me was geꦦtting into th🌌e Red Bull Rookies Cup.

"I was fortunate to find a ride in Moto3 the following season. It was a sacrifice ꧃for my entire family to give me tha🤪t one year. I knew that if I didn’t cut it, I’d be going home to a normal job!"

Talking of his path to becoming one of the best MotoGP riders in the world, Binder said 𒊎joining Ayo’s KTM team was a turning point eight years ago.

"I knew that if I wanted to win, if I wanted to make a career out of this, this was where I needed to be," said Bindಞer. 

"Before stepping into Ajo Motorsports I didn’t handle things well. I would throw ꦏmy toys out my pram, I would panic when things didn’t go how I wanted. 

"He taught me a really good way of working. Aki stuck by me, kept me on the team, and in 2016 we won the world championship♏."

While Binder showered Ayo⛎ with praise, his former team boss did the same after witnessing another brilliant weekend from the 27-year-old. 

"He’s a great guy, nobody says anything negative about him,” added Ayo. “He sacrifices everything for racing, and he is a fighter 🅘in the race. 

"In all working aspects he has improved a lot. When he was younger, Fridays and Saturdays were challenging because his expectations were high. If things weren’t going w🦩ell… He is so much more maturꩵe now. His work is at a high level every day."
