This weekend, Brad Binder, the sensational MotoGP rider from South Africa, led a very different sort of race as he
raced to the altar to wed Courtney Renniers, the love of his life, in an opulent Stellenbosch ceremony.
Binder wed his long-term partner of six and a half years in an extravagant ceremony held at Monlenvliet Vineyards
in Stellenbosch on Saturday, December 9.
He is a formidable force on the grid, but he is also one of the coolest and most modest MotoGP racers you will ever
meet.
During nearly every racing weekend in 2023, the 28-year-old rider from Potchefstroom kept us on the tip of our
seats.
In the riding community, Binder—also known as “Bradical” or “Mr. Sunday”—is regarded as one of our country’s
greatest assets. He routinely finishes in the top 10 for the majority of the year and commands the front row at Sprint
Race weekends.
With 293 points, Binder placed fourth for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing in the MotoGP standings. Despite a few near
misses, South Africa is quite proud of our “Boytjie”.
Probably Binder’s biggest admirer is Courtney, who frequently expresses her admiration for him on social media.
When it’s possible, she spends racing weekends in the pits by his side.
The bride arrived to the wedding in an opulent Rolls Royce, and the newlyweds, who were both dressed in black,
were accompanied by family and close friends.
Apart from the couple, the most noticeable thing was the amazing white floral arrangements by Heike Hayward of
Fleur le Cordeur Floral, which were all over the place.
As laid-back as ever, Binder looked stunning in a black tuxedo and bowtie. Other than his leathers, we hardly ever
see him look this good.
We’re excited to see what he brings us in 2023 if the 2023 MotoGP season is any indication.
