Red Bull KTM rider Brad Binder signed off from Moto2 in style winning a third race in a row, beating out Tom Luthi to secured second in the World Championship at the final round of the 2019 season in Valencia.

Starting from the third row, Binder wasted little time in getting himself up the sharp end of the field, slotting in behind Tom Luthi in second place by the end of the second lap.
