We met Brad Binder for the first time during Misano GP in September 2016.
After a nice meeting we left his motorhome with a meaningful handshake. We had already created for that occasion two alternative graphic layouts for his new helmet 2017, to be used for his beginning in Moto2. Brad won San Marino GP in Misano and in the next race, in Aragon, he would become the Moto3 Champion, the first South African rider to win a world title after John Ekerold in 1980.
