South Africa’s Darryn Binder is set to join his brother Brad in the top-tier MotoGP championship next year.
This, after joining Yamaha’s rebranded RNF MotoGP satellite team alongside Andrea Dovizioso.
Darryn will become the second rider to make the jump from Moto3 to MotoGP without competing in the Moto2 championship.
“I’m extremely grateful for this opportunity, as it has been a lifelong dream to race in the MotoGP category,” he said in a statement from Yamaha on Thursday.
“I definitely didn’t expect to make the jump straight from Moto3 to the highest class, but I do believe I’m up for the challenge, and I‘m ready to put in all the hard work for 2022,” he said.
The managing director of Yamaha Motor Racing, Lin Jarvis, said they were delighted Binder was joining the Yamaha line-up next year.
