South Africa’s Brad Binder said it was another “tricky” race after he finished sixth at the Spanish MotoGP on Sunday.

Binder, who finished fourth in qualifying on Saturday, was engaged in a three-way tussle for fourth position with Ducati riders Alex Marquez and Enea Bastianini. Binder looked to be coming home in fifth, but was overtaken by Bastianini on the last lap.

“Today’s race was a little bit tricky. I did not get the same start as yesterday and just didn’t have the same pace as the boys up front,” Binder told the official KTM website on Sunday.
