Trevor and Sharon are singing the praises of their son Brad Binder.
Krugersdorp, South Africa (4 June 2021) – Brad Binder, 25, South African racing legend, is being hailed as a man with integrity and someone to be proud of.
This is according to Binder’s parents, Trevor and Sharon.
“We as parents are so proud of the person and rider Brad has become. He is just absolutely fantastic,” his folks said to goodthingsguy.com.
“He is always 100% committed to his team and life in general and deserves everything good that come his way.
“We think Brad is doing extremely well as he is taking part in the premier class against the best racers in the world, and it is only his second season in the Moto GP class,” they said
Binder, who is known for winning the 2016 Moto3 World Championship, became the first South African to win a MotoGP championship race at the 2020 Czech Republic motorcycle Grand Prix, also becoming the first rider to win with KTM in the premier class, as well as being the first noob to win in MotoGP since Marc Márquez at the 2013 Motorcycle Grand Prix of the Americas.
Binder started his motorsports profession in go-karting in the year 2003. Two years later, he changed to two wheels, quickly winning a few titles in the 50cc, 125cc and 150cc classifications. In 2008 he made his worldwide introduction, contending in the Aprilia Superteens Series, a British rivalry. In his first race, he completed as a runner up; however, in the second race, he crashed.

Binder’s sibling Darryn, 23, is also a bike racer and contended close by Brad in Moto3 in 2015 and 2016.
“We are extremely proud of Darryn too, both our boys,” mum and dad said.
“Darryn is extremely happy with his new team and mechanics. He is adapting to the Honda nicely, but is a little bit heavy for the moto 3 class.”
We previously reported that Binder will remain part of the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team for the next three years and will celebrate ten Grand Prix seasons in ‘orange’ by the end of the 2024 MotoGP campaign!
