‘Calm’ KTM MotoGP bike doesn’t react to Brad Binder’s ‘close my eyes and go’ approach
Brad Binder talks time attack struggles at British Mo൲toGP

B🧜rad Bin🅰der says his ‘close my eyes and go’ approach to time attacks on the 2025 KTM MotoGP bike doesn’t work anymore.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Friday at the British Grand Prix proved to be a difficult day for the🐈 KTM factory, as none of its riജders made it into a direct Q2 place for Saturday’s qualifying.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta was the fastest of the RC16s in 11th, while factory team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder was 17th - over a second off the best pace set by Gresini’s 🌼Alex Marquez in Practice.
Binder explained that the 2025 KTM needs to b✤e ridden with more “calm” than its predecessor𒊎, which his riding style doesn’t suit anymore.
“At the moment, it’s like you need do everything calm,” he said in response to a question from on Friday 𒉰at Silverstone.
“You need to brake gently, turꦫn in slowly, you can’t be really aggressive because it doesn’t really accept it, or it doesn’t like it too much.
“The way to go fast now is to be more clean.
“So, I’m used to when I need to go fast just closing my eyes and going, a🐠nd this is not working at tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚhe moment.
“So, I need to change up my approach for time attacks and hopefully we c𓆉an find some extra performance.”
Binder has form at Silverstone, getting onto the podium in the 2023 British G🥂P, but s✤ays the feeling on the KTM this weekend hasn’t changed since then.
“Really similar, to be honest,” he added.
“Everything is working♔ really similar, the feeling on the bike is quite the same.
“Really ♈missing the ability to put that extra quick lap in. Need to figure out the time attack a b🍸it.”
The South African says he is losing out🌺 mostly in the final two sect♓ors of the Silverstone circuit in qualifying trim, but the data from Acosta should help him improve in the final split.
“T1 [sect꧙or one] looks fine, T2 not bad,” he said.
“It’s tꦕhree and our where I’m losing mainly, T4 especially.
“The last sector is super tight, but I think we have a good 🥂reference there because Pedro is really fast in the last sector.
“So, it will be good to see how he does th꧟at so I can copy that. And then, the T3 I just nee🅷d to keep a bit more speed through the fast stuff.”
