Binder and Miller have both been extremely competitive at times in 2023, with the former w🍸inning twꦅo MotoGP sprint races. 

And while🐠 the gap between Ducati and KTM has shrunk compa🦄red to last season, the Italian manufacturer still holds an advantage.

• Jack Miller: Ducati's Austrian 🌳dominance ‘gone’, all bikes are miss🤪iles now 
• “I have a KTM contract🧔, 100% sign🌜ed, but I don’t know anything else!”

That has been evident in the Grand Prix’, although Binder’s ability to extrꦫact the best from his machine, as he did again at Silverstone, has put him in position to win when other KTM riders hav♋e been off the pace of the lead group. 

Ready to fight for a world title, Binder said this aboꦕut his chances going for💙ward with KTM.

"This is the strongest I’ve ever been. I feel good on the bike and♛ I understand the class be✃tter than I have in the past. 

"I feel like I’m ready to do good things. There’s nothing in th🐽e world I’d enjoy more than winning a❀ title with KTM. 

"I’ve been with them since I was 13 in the Red Bull Rookies Cup. It’s be🎶en a long road together. We’ve had ups, a lot of them, but some tough stages too. 

"We’ve alwaysဣ achieved, or been really close, to what we want. That’s the end goa🃏l. To get there, you’ve got to do everything correctly. 

"You need to forget and just focus on what you can do on the day. We’ve been fighting the Ducatis every weekend. They ꦇhave strong points but we have ours. Going into the second half of the y💮ear, we have points to work on. We can take the fight to them."

One of the reasons Binder believes🃏 KTM can challenge Ducati going forward is due to the addition of Miller, who left the factory Ducati team at the end of 2022 and has helped push the pr🎐oject on as a result of his extensive knowledge about the Desmosedici. 

Admitting more is yet to come in terms of performance, Binder added: "We have a little more in the pipeline… Jack climbed off the bꦗike to beat last season, and he’s brought us a lot of knowledge. 

"🍸He pointed us in a very good direction of where we should do. We’ve seen the benefits. KTM have done an unreal job bringin🍸g small updates from last season. 

"But the base of the bike is sim𝔍ilar. Our performances have always been there oꦿr thereabouts. If we keep the level, with less mistakes, we can do really well in the second half. 

"Barring some mistakes that ꦡI’ve made, it could be better. I’m fourth in the championship. I don’t want to be fourth, I want to be further up than that. I’ve got nothing to lose."
