Darryn Binder is the new rider for Gresini in the Moto2 World Championship. He takes the place of Manuel González, who is heading to Intact GP… where the South African is competing this year.
At 26 years old, Binder is in his second season in the intermediate category. After six years in Moto3, he was promoted to MotoGP in 2022, but the results and performances were far from what was expected.
Unable to secure a spot in the top class, the rider chose to drop down to Moto2 in 2023 and has since been competing with Intact GP. Last Sunday, he achieved his best result so far, finishing fifth in the Indonesian GP.
Now, Binder will join Gresini in 2025 with the aim of making considerable improvements. In a statement, #15 said: ‘I’m really thankful for the opportunity to be racing with Gresini Racing next year, I’m really looking forward to it. I feel like I’m starting to make progress and hope to carry the momentum to towards the end of the season. Then the goal is to keep improving throughout 2025 and hopefully to battle for great results. I can’t wait for the new season to start!’.
