Tyre troubles do not stop Brad to secure 7th place in action-packed German MotoGP
According to the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team, Brad was quick to move into the top 10 from the first lap. He then endured tyre pressure problems for the duration, but stayed on two wheels when a series of other riders fell into the gravel. He was less than a 10th of a second from sixth.
'From a working point of view and the weekend as a whole, this was a step. The main race was super difficult. It was such a long race, and a lot of guys were going down,' said Brad.
'It was chaos out there and very tricky for the front end. I was in a group the entire time, and that was hard for the tyre pressure and keeping the whole thing up. It was sketchy, so even though I would have liked a much better result, it was an accomplishment to get to the line,' he concluded.
After his seventh place at this race in Sachsenring, Brad is currently 12th in the Championship Standings. He will be in action again from July 18 to 20 at the Tissot Grand Prix of Czechia.

Darryn eyes comeback at Austrian GP after 17th place in Czechia
Krugersdorp's MotoGP2 racer, Darryn Binder, placed in the Top 20 at the Tissot Grand Prix of Czechia over the past weekend. He raced on the Automotodrom Brno and, according to Gresini Racing's official website, placed 17th. Darryn announced on the website that the Brno race is done and dusted. 'I was hoping to find my way to the points today, but unfortunately, I came a couple of positions short of that.' Overall, he felt like he had the right pace during the race, but it was just not fast enough. 'Luckily, we had a test here, so we could try a couple of things and find a little bit more speed to be faster. Anyway, we're going into the summer break now; a couple of weeks to reset and find my fit to come back ready to go again!' he said. Darryn has 11 points and is currently 21st in the Championship Standings. He will be in action again at the Grand Prix of Austria from August 15 to 17.

MotoGP's Argentina Grand Prix to return in 2027 near Buenos Aires
The Argentina Grand Prix, which will not be a part of the MotoGP calendar next year, will return in 2027 at a different venue near the capital Buenos Aires. MotoGP said on its website the Autodromo Oscar y Juan Galvez, which staged several Formula One and motorcycle Grand Prix races until the 1990s, will be renovated to host the event, which has been held at Termas de Rio Hondo, more than 1,100km from the capital, since 2014. 'Starting in October, we will undertake a comprehensive renovation of the circuit which includes work on the track, pits, paddock and safety zones, incorporating the latest technology," said Jorge Macri, chief of government of Buenos Aires. "Bringing MotoGP to the city means the arrival of an elite competition with the most important international teams and riders which will be enjoyed by about 150,000 people at the track." The 2025 edition of the race was held in March, with Marc Marquez winning the Grand Prix.
