Binder scored his best championship result in MotoGP with fourth in 2023, albeit finishing 174 points behind pacesetter Francesco Bagnaia.
And though he did score two sprint wins, a grand prix victory narrowly slipped through his grasp on a couple of occasions.
At one stage of the season declaring the 2023 RC16 the best KTM he’d ridden, Binder ended the year frustrated.
“Not really, to be honest,” he said when asked if he was happy with what he achieved in 2023.
“I expected a lot more this season. I feel like I was capable of a lot more but I made a lot of mistakes and threw away a lot of opportunities.
“But OK, it’s life, it can happen. With this new format everyone has made a ton of mistakes it seems. But I’m really looking forward to getting started again next season.
“We have these two months or whatever it is to really build, understand and grow from now, try and find tiny improvements in every area.
“And I think, if we can do that, we can come back next season with everything we need to fight for some wins.”
