Few q's with Brad Binder

Brad in Le-Mans.

Brad Binder is 16 year old South African Moto3 rider who came in this class from Red Bull Rookies Cup.Hope you enjoy our little interview
BB:As far as I know your racing career had started in kart racing, but why did you choose bikes after that?
Brad:There's not a specific reason, I just thought two wheels were better than four wheels : much more fun!
BB:In seasons 2010/2011 you raced in Red Bull Rookies Cup,now you moved to the new Moto3 class. What is the difference between RedBull Rookies Cup and Moto3 bikes?
Brad:Well these kinds of bikes are not really comparable for one big reason, the Rookies Cup bikes are 2 strokes,while Moto3 bikes are 4 strokes. One big difference of GP bikes is that they have telemetry.
BB:This season started not very good for you. What are your predictions for the next races?
Brad:Well, I just hope to get good results possibly inside the top 10!
BB:Do you already have plans for the season 2013?
Brad:I just plan to stay in Moto3..
BB:Are you superstitious?Do you have some special ritual before the first race?
Brad:No sorry to disappoint you but I have no special rituals.. Actually I go to the bathroom five minutes before each practice session and race, does that count?
BB:Do you watch any racing championships? And who's your favorite rider?
Brad:I love watching South African superbike and of course World Superbike! My favourite rider has always been Valentino Rossi, I think every young rider should look up to him!
BB:What do you think is the most important thing for a young racer?
Brad:Never give up!.. but everyone says that!
I'd say young riders need good support from their families mainly.. And good sponsors!
BB:And short message for those who will read this interview.
