The problem for Marꦇin🐬i is that Binder insisted he didn’t make contact and instead called it a bull**** claim from the Italian.
"For me, that’s absolute bull****. I never touched him," added Binder. "There was no contact so what do you want to penalise me for? H🧔e didn’t even go over the curb. What did I do wrong?"
Speaking about his race,ꦯ Binder pointed to his good start and eಞarly overtakes as key to securing another podium.
"I got a great start again and managed to get past a lot of guys earlier on," said Binder. "When I saw the opp💧ortunity I just really wa🀅nted to do my own race.
"Marc [Marquez] and Pecco [Bagnaia] were fighting with each other through three and four and saw them going so tight into four, so I saw my🌞 opportunity to do a little cutback and it worked perfectly.&n🔥bsp;
"I managed to pass them both and it gave me the chance to really focus on Jorge and try an𒁏d put my head. I tried to catch him obviously, but that didn’t work."
After winning the Sprint and taking three consecutive podiums, Binder🍌 is now second in the standings and in a prime position to fight for 🍒the title.
But when a♏sked if he feels ready, the South African said: "I’ve been second in the championship after Qatar last year but it just didn’t last very long [laughs].
"The year is long. With this new format - like you said I was ninth and then second. We need to enjoy the moment, enjoy th▨e podiums and keep fighting.
"It’s ൩exciting but it’s such a long year and things can change in a heartbeat. It’s a dream and can become a reality. Who knows."
