The Aprilia rider proved correct with his assessment of Binder’s mistake at Turn 8 on the last lap, with confirmation of the South African’s one-place demotion coming moments after the chequered flag.
While that meant that KTM rider Binder had managed to lose a podium finish twice on the same weekend, after also being demoted from third in the sprint race, Aprilia was able to celebrate its first rostrum since Maverick Vinales came home second at the year’s opening Grand Prix in Portugal.
