Darryn Binder from the LIQUI MOLY Husqvarna Intact GP Moto2 team celebrated his next strong top 10 result at the Aragon Grand Prix and collected seven more world championship points thanks to his ninth place.

The race weekend at MotorLand Aragon posed a number of challenges for the entire Moto2 class, as the new asphalt dried slowly and unevenly after overnight rain, which demanded maximum concentration and a precise line choice.

South African rider Darryn defied these difficulties on all three days of the event. And even though 19th place on the grid increased the pressure on the 26-year-old, he rose to the challenge thanks to a fantastic start, as Binder made up an incredible seven positions within the first few laps, hinting at a strong pace. As the race progressed, the veteran was involved in the battle for the top 10 together with Celestino Vietti and Ai Ogura. A crash by Joe Roberts one lap before the end of the race secured Darryn ninth place and another top-10 finish, which earned him a further seven championship points. There has been a clear upward trend in the last three races, which he wants to continue in just one week’s time at the Grand Prix in Misano.

“Definitely not an easy race because the track conditions were really difficult, and my starting position didn’t help. I had a good getaway though and a really good pace. I was making my way up the field but for two laps in a row, I made the same mistake and got a bit off the line, which cost me a bit of time. I could have been a bit further up the rankings, but this is my third top ten in a row and I feel things are coming together. I just need to work on my qualifying.”
