Brad Binder wrapped up the Championship with four races to spare
He took his first grand prix victory in Jerez, when he started 35th on the grid, and has wrapped up the Championship with four rounds to go.
Brad Binder, finishing second to race winner Jorge Navarro, and joined on the podium by Enea Bastianini, was required to cross the line at least third in the race to be crowned the champion.
“We didn’t win the battle, but we won the war,” the South African noted in an interview after the race.
The next round of the championship takes place in Japan, at Twin Ring Motegi.
