Darryn eyes comeback at Austrian GP after 17th place in Czechia
Krugersdorp's MotoGP2 racer, Darryn Binder, placed in the Top 20 at the Tissot Grand Prix of Czechia over the past weekend. He raced on the Automotodrom Brno and, according to Gresini Racing's official website, placed 17th. Darryn announced on the website that the Brno race is done and dusted. 'I was hoping to find my way to the points today, but unfortunately, I came a couple of positions short of that.' Overall, he felt like he had the right pace during the race, but it was just not fast enough. 'Luckily, we had a test here, so we could try a couple of things and find a little bit more speed to be faster. Anyway, we're going into the summer break now; a couple of weeks to reset and find my fit to come back ready to go again!' he said. Darryn has 11 points and is currently 21st in the Championship Standings. He will be in action again at the Grand Prix of Austria from August 15 to 17.

Darryn bounces back with some points in Germany
Local MotoGP2 racer Darryn Binder placed 15th at the Liqui Moly Grand Prix of Germany this past weekend (July 11 to 13). According to MotoGP's official website, a 15th place earned Darryn one point towards the Championship Standings. 'We're coming off quite a few difficult races, so this weekend we've been trying to find our way back, and I can say, we did find some positives and a little bit of speed. Unfortunately, I never made it to Q2,' said Darryn. It was a dry race for him, without a lot of time on Friday. 'I knew it could have been a little bit tricky. Overall, I think we have more positives than the previous grand prix, so I might not have been the fastest, but at least we had a bit more pace and managed to keep it up. Unfortunately, we scored just one point, but let's take the positives and keep focus and working. We'll try again in Brno.' He is 21st in the Championship Standings and will race again at the Tissot Grand Prix of Czechia this weekend, July 18 to 20.
