2020 Czech Republic MotoGP – Race ResultsBrad Binder has taken a shock maiden MotoGP World Championship win for both himself and the KTM in only his third career race after a spectacular performance at Brno.Check out the MotoGP YouTube channel – CLICK HEREThe rookie racer stalked his way into contention to overhaul long-time leader Franco Morbidelli with nine laps remaining before clearing off for a wholly unexpected success.As well as being his first MotoGP win, the historic success marks an incredible first MotoGP win for KTM since making its full-time debut in 2017. A topsy-turvy race that would see a number of riders without any victories to their name ascend to the fore, Morbidelli looked as though he was well on course for maiden success after grabbing the lead out of the opening turn before multiplying his lead over team-mate and championship leader Fabio Quartararo in the initial laps.Though Quartararo attempted to give chase, he instead found himself being hounded by an inspired Binder, who’d clawed his way up the order to catch the Frenchman and plant a pass into Turn 3 on lap nine.With Morbidelli going against the grain with his soft rear, his pace began to slip in the second-half of the race, allowing Binder to quickly make gains before the South African wasted no time in making his move by snatching the lead with nine laps remaining.From here Binder came up against no further competition, confidently moving clear of Morbidelli to complete a day to remember for the KTM team.Morbidelli clung onto second position for his first MotoGP podium, helped in part by third place Johann Zarco being forced to take a long lap penalty after being blamed for a collision that eliminated Pol Espargaro. Indeed, such was the pace of the KTM at that stage in the race, the Austrian manufacturer might have been on for a 1-2.Championship leader Quartararo faded along with his tyres to cross the line in seventh place, the Frenchman at least faring better than Andrea Dovizioso down in 11th and Maverick Vinales in 12thFull Czech MotoGP Race Report to follow”4
