A position currently hel♕d by Ducati after winning all three wo💖rld titles in 2022, while the 2023 MotoGP season has so far continued in the same vein. 

However, KTM’s performances so far th✅is season, especially in the hands of Binder, have been strong enough to suggest a serious challenge is coming Ducati’s way for the remainder of thiꦬs season and beyond. 

• Marquez “super happy to continue with Gresini, felt at home from the fi🌠rstꦇ day” 
• Bezzec♐chi: ‘Plan A’ still to stay with VR46💖, future clear by Barcelona?

Binder himself beli🎶eves he’s ready to fight for a world title with KTM, and he’s not the only rider who thinks highly of the Austrian brand as Honda’s Marc Marquez recently admitted that he sees KTM being the manufacturer to ꦰbeat in the near future.

Responding to♐ Maꦿrquez’s comments, Binder said: "I can definitely believe it. With the effort they put in, it’s incredible. 

"I’m honoured to be a part of thi🅺s package. Every we☂ekend I see what effort the guys put in. When they do reach the top, I hope that I’m their guy!

"It would be really cool for KTM to have another two bikes on the grid. It would give us the oppor🔴tunity to t𓆏est more things."

After seemingly overtaking Aprilia as the second fastest bike, although Aleix Espargaro did his best to counter that argument by winning at Silverstone, Marquez said this: "Now they are the second best constructor༒ in the championship, but very s🦩oon, more than people might think, they will be first."

KTM’s two wins so far this season have𒁏 come in the form of sprint victories, both of which were won by Binder.

But the South African, who won perhaps the craziest race of all-time in 2021 at the Red Bull Ring, is hoping to go one better and claim victory 𓄧in the Grand Prix thisꩲ weekend.

Binder stated: "It’s about time that I get one, right? It’s been cool to win sprint ra𝕴ces but a while since I won on a Sunday.

"At many circuits I’ve fought for the podium.ꦅ I’ve made mistakes. With small tweaks, we’re in for a good shot.

"This is the closest I’ll have to a home grand prix for a while! Being home for KTM, it would be amaziওng to win here. I’ve done it in Moto2 before.

"I have a lot of confidence, my bike has been wo🍸rking exceptionally well recently.

"I’m extremely proud to have raced for nearly 10 years for an inc𝄹redible manufacturer.

"The changes they’re making, how big it has become… To be part of the story is a𓃲mazing. It gives me extra motivation to get the job right for them. With the massive effort they put in, they deserve results."
