After losing out on the holeshot to Francesco Bagnaia in both Red Bull Ring races, Brad Binder was certain Ducati has developed something new for their MotoGP race starts.
Bagnaia didn’t respond and continued watching the replays.
But when later quizzed by the media about why the Ducati seemed to have been so much stronger off the line, he confirmed:“For the start, it’s clear that it’s something [new] we had to our bike, but it’s something that I prefer someone above - in Ducati - to speak about because I don't want to be the first one [to say what it is].
“It’s something that helped me in the first part of acceleration. That was the moment I was losing the most because they [KTM] can be super aggressive in the first part of acceleration, and us with the carbon clutch it's more difficult, this kind of acceleration. “But we improved on that and it was so helpful. We won both races and we already had a great chance to do that, thanks to the start.”
MotoGP.com commentator and pitlane reporter Simon Crafar suggested there was also something different about Ducati's holeshot device switch in Austria.
