South Africa Darryn folder Brother of MotoGP ace Brad, he raced to victory in Sunday’s Moto3 Catalan Grand Prix in Barcelona.
It’s the 22-year-old’s first Moto3 victory, and the first time a South African has won the class since his brother Brad in 2016.
Brad Binder, 25, made headlines last month by becoming the first South African to win a MotoGP Grand Prix in the Czech Republic.
On Sunday, however, it was Brother Darryn’s turn to make history.
Having started the race in ninth position, Binder had remained in the leading group throughout the 21-lap race, but only went from second to first on the last lap of the race.
“The feeling is absolutely indescribable,” Binder said afterward.
“Barcelona is a special place for me because I got my first point in a world championship here in 2016.
“Getting my first win here is pretty sick too. I’ve been threatening for a long time and I just haven’t made it possible.
“I’m over the moon. To my parents at home, thank you, I love you very much and will see you soon.”
