Binder is one of the new recruits of the CIP – Green Power Team for the 2019 season. Aged 21, he has raced in the Grand Prix paddock since 2015. After finishing 17th place in the overall standings in 2018, while picking up a third place at the Japanese GP, the South African really wants to continue on this path and to add more podiums to his list. His knowledge of the category and the bike will be a strong argument for him to fight in the leading group, with the aim to be in the top five of the Championship at the end of the season.
