The 2022 MotoGP season was a tough one for the Binder brothers. The two South Africans, Brad and Darren, waved a racing career in Mzansi goodbye as they sought the challenge and opportunities presented in Europe.And while both competed in the 2022 season - a dream they've been chasing together - the hype was a far cry from the reality of the situation.
