The great fright, the tears, the rush from bagnaia and then the sigh of relief. Brad Binder was the rider inadvertently involved in the accident involving Francesco 'Pecco' Bagnaia on the first lap of the Catalan GP in MotoGP, hitting the Piedmontese rider – who fell from the Ducati – with his KTM. Impact to the leg.
The South African rider, once his race was over (early), immediately asked for information on Bagnaia's conditions, going to him at the medical center. Binder was in tears. Then the news on Pecco's conditions (“it seems less serious than expected” said the team manager Ducati Tardozzi) reassured him.
“It was difficult for me, I entered the corner, I accelerated and only then did I see Bagnaia, I did my best to avoid him but I couldn't do it. – he told Sky Sport microphones -. It was scary, it’s every rider’s worst nightmare to hurt another rider. I’m very sorry, but I’m also happy because he seemed fine, I didn’t expect him to be so fine. I spoke to him at the medical center.”
