Motorsport: SA’s Brad Binder leaves MotoGP to join BMW in the Superbike World Championship

# Motorsport: South Africa’s Brad Binder will make his FIM Superbike World Championship debut for BMW next year. The move will see the 30-year-old leave MotoGP after seven seasons, where he won two races. Binder will now line up alongside Miguel Oliveira, who was previously a teammate in 125 Grand Prix competitions in Moto2 and MotoGP. BMW Motorrad Motorsport boss Sven Blusch says Binder isn’t coming to WorldSBK simply to extend his racing career, but wants to fight for the World Championship title.
