KTM had a relatively low-key showing in Malaysia as the new MotoGP season began in earnest with a three-day test this week, with Ducati stealing the limelight with a series of record-breaking lap times.
Binder could put up no challenge to either the factory or the satellite Desmosedici riders as he ended up a distant seventh on the timesheets on Friday with a best effort of 1m57.365s, losing six tenths in relation to reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia.
