may 30, 2021 - KTM
Best MotoGP™ qualification of the season so far at Mugello
KTM will count on two RC16s within the first three rows of the start grid for the Gran Premio Oakley D’Italia and the first of four rounds of #motogp in the next five weeks. #bradbinder was the quickest of the Red Bull KTM Factory #racing and Tech3 KTM Factory #racing quartet at a warm #mugello.
- Binder is 6th fastest and on the second row while Oliveira sits in 7th after both enter Q2
- Binder rushes to equal fastest ever #motogp top speed with 362.4 kmph in FP3
- Acosta in the middle of the Moto3 front row after taking 2nd in Q2- Fernandez scores second Moto2 Pole Position in a row
- Taiyo Furusato wins round five of the Red Bull #motogp Rookies Cup
The glorious setting and the sweeping corners of the Autodromo del #mugello made a welcome return to #motogp after missing the calendar in 2020. The fast 5.2km layout staged its 35th Grand Prix for what is round six of the 2021 contest and counted on warm and dry late spring conditions.
The Red Bull KTM Factory #racing and Tech3 KTM Factory #racing teams got straight to work optimizing the setting of the KTM RC16 to best suit the 15 turns of varying gradients and speed.
Miguel Oliveira and #bradbinder were consistently hitting lap-times near the top of the leaderboard of the Free Practice sessions and also around the peak of the speed traps along the vast 1.1km straight. During FP3 on Saturday morning Binder equaled the fastest recorded figure in #motogp history when his #33 KTM RC16 was clocked at 362.4 kmph.
The Portuguese and the South African both advanced directly to Q2. Binder reached as high as 3rd and was in contention for a front row slot until he rested in 6th for his highest qualification placing this season so far, just half a second from Pole Position. Oliveira was very close: his 7th spot came with an effort just two thousandths of a second slower than Binder.
