After the summer break, the LIQUI MOLY Husqvarna Intact GP Moto2 team led by Darryn Binder and Senna Agius will start the British Grand Prix from positions 18 and 20, which will certainly make the tenth round of the World Championship the next challenge for the duo.

South African veteran Darryn looks back on a positive weekend so far on Saturday afternoon after working intensively with his crew from Friday onwards. With steadily improving results within the top 15, the 26-year-old made his way straight into Q2, where he finished in eighteenth place on row six with a 2’03.925, 0.985s behind pole setter Ai Ogura. The 17-lap race on Sunday at 14:30 (local time) will certainly not be easy, but the layout of the long, fast Silverstone circuit invites numerous overtaking manoeuvres. The road to the points is not far away, and the progress made in the previous sessions has given Binder new confidence.

P18 (Q2) – 2’03.925 (+0.985)

“It’s been a positive weekend so far. We’ve made a step forward in every session and got straight into Q2. So that means the first job was done and I’m happy with that. We also made another step forward in qualifying and I thought that would give me a chance to finish at least somewhere in the top 15, but unfortunately, the other guys made a big step in Q2 because the fastest lap was really, really fast. I, on the other hand, didn’t manage to make the same step as the others. So, I’m a bit disappointed to start from P18, but at the same time Silverstone is definitely one of my better weekends, even if I’m not super fast, but at least I have a decent rhythm with my pace. So, things are looking good for tomorrow. It’s going to be a long and tough race. Hopefully, I can fight my way into the points and get a good result.”
