The 25-year-old reached a scarcely-believable speed of 362.4 km/h on his KTM.

That mark tied Ducati’s Johann Zarco who set the record in Qatar earlier in the 2021 season.

Brad Binder wound up sixth on the grid and finished the race itself in fifth place.

After six races this season, Binder is in eighth place in the standings with 35 points.

France’s Fabio Quartararo leads the way on 105 points.
