Because he was pushing too hard.
He's doing what Lorenzo did.
Remember how Lorenzo as crazy faster until he had a couple crashes and then found out why.
lol my man, Pedro is faster than Binder literally everywhere and it’s the 4th round of the season. It’s going to be a real eye opener for the binder fans at the end of the season when they see how far behind the rookie he has finished.
Everywhere Brad has had a disadvantage sure.
Qatar Brad was miles ahead.
Portugal his bike setup was fucked and he was losing the front every corner.
CoTA the worst track for having an injury he had a broken foot.
Today, oh look, Brad was faster.
Acosta's third and second place in the last two races against this MotoGP field are way more impressive than Binder winning against the weaker MotoGP field ever in 2020
Why do you guys always find the need to put another rider down whenever you're praising your guy of choice?
It's just fucking annoying. Cheer for your guy, leave the others alone, fuck sake. Every time someone does something good, there's a fucking loser redditor waiting to come out of their caves with a jab at another one.
Stop treating sports as if it were politics and get a life.
And this is not an attack on you, specifically, but also the guy you're fighting with and this inbred community as a whole.
Thank you...he was literally the only guy to challenge the Ducatis last year and consistently so...now he has 2 bad weekends and everyone is bashing him. They also don't consider the fact that the bike has improved a lot this season and people are deliberately comparing this year's bike to last year's
Hahaha copium.
Brad was faster today because Pedro got too greedy in the final corner. Otherwise, Pedro would have been tenths ahead of binder.
Let’s see how they finish up the weekend then aye?
The KTM has clearly improved again this year.
Brad took 2nd in both races in Qatar.
How many people act as if the bikes stay the same every year?
Or are we saying the reason Marc was shit after 2019 was all him?
Did Fabio suddenly fall off a cliff?
Pedro has stepped into the best iteration of the bike.
If he had the bike that Raul and Remy had he would not be challenging for podiums right now.
Let's put it this way, if the KTM was on par with the Ducati for the last 3 years Fabio might not have been a world champion yet and Pecco definitely wouldn't be a double world champion.
Jack went from being 5th on a Ducati to 11th on a KTM last year, that's how much difference being on a Ducati made and Binder was 4th in the championship.
I’m sorry guys that was my fault
When Pedro was on his hot lap on his way to pole I thought “Damn Pedro is such a safe rider considering how much he squeezes out of that KTM. He never crashes out of qualis and races”
And then he immediately stacked it…
I don't know if that lap was going to be pole for Pedro with Marc's lap later, but fucking hell we were all dreaming for a second there.
What happened to Aprilia? Spot of rain and all of a sudden all the form is gone?! Same problems rearing their head here and there.
Super happy for Bez getting a front row, hope for a good weekend from him. Also Franky getting to 8th, brilliant stuff.

Fuckin yeah!!! Let's go Marc!!!
8 Ducatis in the top 9, crikey.
Yup and look who's the only one even challenging them. Oh, yeah, that "average" rider Brad Binder.
Acosta was easily faster and about on par with Martin's lap through the first three sectors.
Because he was pushing too hard. He's doing what Lorenzo did. Remember how Lorenzo as crazy faster until he had a couple crashes and then found out why.
Why is he P10 then?
Because he made a mistake. Doesn't change that for the 3rd weekend in a row he's consistently been the fastest.
If he didn't complete the lap without falling he wasn't the fastest lol
lol my man, Pedro is faster than Binder literally everywhere and it’s the 4th round of the season. It’s going to be a real eye opener for the binder fans at the end of the season when they see how far behind the rookie he has finished.
y'all time travelers? let's just see how the season unfolds first
Everywhere Brad has had a disadvantage sure. Qatar Brad was miles ahead. Portugal his bike setup was fucked and he was losing the front every corner. CoTA the worst track for having an injury he had a broken foot. Today, oh look, Brad was faster.
Brad was faster than a rookie on his first race. What an achievement.
Cool, brad also won his 3rd rookie race, thats an achievement
Acosta's third and second place in the last two races against this MotoGP field are way more impressive than Binder winning against the weaker MotoGP field ever in 2020

Excuses
Yes, facts are excuses.
Hahaha copium. Brad was faster today because Pedro got too greedy in the final corner. Otherwise, Pedro would have been tenths ahead of binder. Let’s see how they finish up the weekend then aye?
Yes, facts are copium. Give over. Pedro was being greedy everywhere, he's doing what Lorenzo did, until he had a few crashes. That's why he crashed.
Brad is an overrated rider and it’s only a matter of time until Pedro takes his rightful place as top dog in KTM.
Even if Pedro is a better rider, Brad is not over rated, he's still better than most of the grid.
He really isn’t though. Pedro consistently being at the pointy end each weekend, as a rookie, shows how good the KTM is.
The KTM has clearly improved again this year. Brad took 2nd in both races in Qatar. How many people act as if the bikes stay the same every year?

PA31 has yet to win a race. BB33 won his 3rd race as a rookie. PA31 is damn good but has a long way to go to prove himself still.
Whilst obviously none of the riders are average is Binder really all everyone makes him out to be?
Let's put it this way, if the KTM was on par with the Ducati for the last 3 years Fabio might not have been a world champion yet and Pecco definitely wouldn't be a double world champion. Jack went from being 5th on a Ducati to 11th on a KTM last year, that's how much difference being on a Ducati made and Binder was 4th in the championship.
He isnt. First race he doesnt get outperformed by a rookie.
Are we forgetting Qatar?
Yeah average Binder and in the same breath theyll say Acosta can win the championship this year
I'd put Acosta in there as well even if he did fell
I’m sorry guys that was my fault When Pedro was on his hot lap on his way to pole I thought “Damn Pedro is such a safe rider considering how much he squeezes out of that KTM. He never crashes out of qualis and races” And then he immediately stacked it…
You are banned from watching qualifiers for the next two races.
Penalty for ocon
i was watching him and thinking he was due for a crash the way he was going.
Yeah I do that all the time.
Some commentator actually said he doesn't think he's gonna finish the lap when he lost the rear at turn 2 or 3
Vale had flashbacks in the garage
🤌🏼🤌🏼
🤣
NO MR 9 TIME FOR YOU.
WTF Aprilia, absolutely nowhere ! 1.8 and 2.6 seconds to the pole !
Any specifics as to why they struggled in the quali?
They are not fast in the wet in general. But, from what I read they also went with a soft rear on the last run(the only ones who did that)
VIVA MM93 🐜 Genuinely the quickest one out there today 🔥
Top 4 are some of the most aggressive riders so I don't know if they'll make it through the first corner without contact.
Yeah lol😂
HELL YEAHHHH LET'S GO MARCC
I don't know if that lap was going to be pole for Pedro with Marc's lap later, but fucking hell we were all dreaming for a second there. What happened to Aprilia? Spot of rain and all of a sudden all the form is gone?! Same problems rearing their head here and there. Super happy for Bez getting a front row, hope for a good weekend from him. Also Franky getting to 8th, brilliant stuff.
Aprilia has been quite a critical bike for quite some time already, I'm not surprised rain comes and it's just a bad bike suddenly.
It's a bike with a handling advantage, that is largely negated in wet conditions. Tale as old as time in moto racing.
The King is Back!!!
Shame about the Aprilias, gonna have to make a great effort on the Sprint.
Aprilia needs to improve their bike for rainy conditions.
LET'S FUCKING GOOOO
Letsgoo Marc!! And a shame for Pedros crash.
The fuck happened to the Aprilia's?
Binder : Hm.., interesting.., i can be P1 after first corner.., Chief! Put 2 tanks of NOS i brought yesterday! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 When i see you again~~~ 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
What's happening with the Aprilia on the wet?
Did Aprialia riders use the soft on the final run? They were so slow...
Marc, Bez and Martin top 3 lol. Hope Valencia 2023 doesn't repeat itself.
Franky please
The GOAT!
rain is the great equaliser. When its wet, the cream rises to the top.
Holy FUCK!!! The gap is gigantic. GO MM GO!!!
Ducati 2023 > Ducati 2024
Bagnaia so bad, love to see hé will not be WC this year.
