Binder an꧅d Miller have both been extremely competitive at times in 2023, with the former winning two MotoGP sprint races. 

And while the gap between Ducati and KTM has s🐭hrunk compared to last season, the Italian manufacturer still holds an advantage.

• Jack Miller: Ducati's Ausꦕtrian dominance ‘gone’, all bikes are missiles now 
• “I have a K♈TM contꦅract, 100% signed, but I don’t know anything else!”

That has been evident in the Grand Prix’, although Binder’s a🐼bility to extract the best from his machine, as he did a🌊gain at Silverstone, has put him in position to win when other KTM riders have been off the pace of the lead group. 

Ready to fight for a world title, Binder said this about his chances going forward witﷺh KT🔯M.

"Th👍is is the strongest I’ve ever been. I feel good on the bike and I un💟derstand the class better than I have in the past. 

"I feel lik🍃e I’m ready to💃 do good things. There’s nothing in the 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 been a long road together.ಌ We’ve had ups, a lot of them, but some tough stages too. 

"We’ve always achieved, or been really close, ꧑to what we want. That’s the end goal. To get there, you’ve got to do everything correctly. 

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

One of the reasons Binder believes KTM can challenge 🐠Ducati going forward is due to th♋e addition of Miller, who left the factory Ducati team at the end of 2022 and has helped push the project 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 bike to beat last season, and he’s brought us a ℱlot of knowledge. 

"He po𝓀inted us in a very good direction of where we should do. We’ve seen the benefits. KTM have done an unreal j♚ob bringing small updates from last season. 

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

"ꦇBarring some mistakes that I’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 nothin🦹g to lose."
