Brad Binder took the new carbon fibre KTM chassis to a record-breaking lap time in Friday practice for the Japanese MotoGP at Motegi.
The composite frame, which turned heads with a pair of four places on its public debut in the hands of wild-card Dani Pedrosa at Misano earlier this month, was first tried by Binder and Red Bull KTM team-mate Jack Miller at the Monday test.
Binder’s 1m 43.489s not only topped the timesheets but finally broke Jorge Lorenzo’s 2015 lap record, set during the Bridgestone tyre era. “It definitely helped me on the exit of the corners a little bit. So that was a real positive point that we've been working on to try and solve, and it's one step in the right direction.”
