“It was so cool to be bacඣk on a GP bike,” said Binder ൲following day one. “It felt like ages. Everything was quite smooth and no massive complaints.

“The only mishap we had was a puncture on my third lap which was a bit of a pai൲n as we lost a lot of worꩵk.

“When you play with the engine brake you never ♛q♉uite know what you’re getting. You have to be open to change all the time.
“I think we found something that I was 🌄quite happy with in the end. I need to tweak it a bit still.
