Brad Binder, who finished seventh in today’s Austrian GP sprint race, was relieved that some of the bike’s issues had been fixed because he had been having trouble with the front locking up. He lamented spending so long to comprehend his RC16’s responsiveness, but after boosting his performance, a change of front forks was essential for this.
Without ignoring the issues he had been experiencing since the previous day, the South African summed up his performance today as follows: “We took a good step from qualifying to the race.” I felt that the front tire was too hot, and this morning it was exactly the same. I had a lot of trouble hitting my marks because it was locking up and going straight. I had trouble stopping this morning, and I had trouble stopping even on Friday afternoon. Nevertheless, I managed to complete a strong lap to get me straight into Q2.
For the race, we swapped the bike’s forks, and all of a sudden, the lock was considerably better and manageable. Regretfully, it took me several laps to attempt to comprehend the distinctions and figure out how to take advantage of them.
He went on, saying, “I tried to close the gap and catch up to the guys ahead of me, but it was getting late.” We made progress, and I now know exactly where I need to become better in order to finish the long race. All I can hope for is to complete more laps.
The performances by Pol Espargaró this weekend have been among the highlights. Binder has explained that he is closely monitoring the data, not just of the rider sponsored by the company but of all the others as well:
We’ve been observing what other people are doing, observing everyone to discover what they excel at. We have to concentrate on our settings and bike because it’s a little challenging to look at his data because his package differs from ours. Indeed, we do examine every angle and what each person excels at.
