When a 21-year-old takes pole position, a debut race win by nearly five seconds and does it all in only his 20th premier class race, it’s difficult to justify awarding the rider of the weekend honour to anyone else. “I think my team said it took me 26 seconds,” admitted Binder on how much time his moment at Turn 5 cost him.
