Down to Moto2: Darryn Binder to race with Intact GP

After just one season as a rookie in the top class, the South African will leave the Yamaha M1 and move to the Triumph-powered Kalex. A new phase in his career, in the intermediate class he could have done with earlier

In terms of his future racing career, Darryn Binder remained uncertain for months. Once it became clear that there would be no room for him in MotoGP in 2023, he started to look around. Rightly so, because the 24-year old who hails from Potchefstroom has the potential to do well. But not in the top class, for now. And this is why Moto2 represents an excellent alternative.

Moto2 and Darryn Binder: making up for lost time


Almost everybody said that Darryn could have done with (at least) one year in Moto2, before moving up to the reigning class. The jump from Moto3 to MotoGP appeared rash to many, with any comparisons to Jack Miller, who took the same route, looking to be baseless.

And so here we are. The season is not yet over but we already know where Binder will be. He’ll move to team Liqui Moly Intact GP, which currently fields Jeremy Alcoba and Marcel Schrotter. The South African will have the opportunity to take things a little easier, and will definitely have less pressure and responsibility on his shoulders.
