Thai MotoGP: Brad Binder: ‘Brake pads opened because of shaking, lost two laps, frustrating’

The KTM rider spent most of FP2 inside the top ten after two impressive race runs, however, a crash for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Cal Crutchlow at t✨he end of the second MotoGP practice and brake pads opening due to severe shaking aboard his RC16, left Bind🐬er down in 13th.
After securing his second podium of the season at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Japanese MotoGP, keeping hold of such momentum is of high priority for the South African, who said ‘we needed this podium desperately and hopefully this is the start of ma🧔ny more’ following last Sunday’s Grand Prix.
But if he’s to do so then making his way into Q2 in Buriram ꦑ- whether that’s by securing a top ten spot in FP3 which could be wet or by advancing in Q1 - it will be a must for the former Moto3 world champion.
The good news for Binder is that team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Miguel Oliveira showed how much pace KTꦯM has over 🌟one lap after finishing fifth.
Speaking after the opening day, Binder said: "Today was actually okay. First time here [on a MotoGP bike] and I really enjoyed the track. The bi𒐪ke is not working badly at all.
"This morning my꧒ pace was re💖ally good and also in the first two runs this afternoon I felt pretty good and I felt confident.

"Unfortunately in my last run my [brake] pads op🤪ened from a lot of shaking so I lost two laps because of that and my third♏ lap was [impacted] by yellow flags.
"It’s really frustrating but at the end of the day I’ve been fast and I can go fast here. I just didn’t get the opportunity to do a lap. I’m really praying it’s dry tomorrowไ.
"When you have a lot of shaking it’s quite normal that brake pads open aඣnd here I’m struggling a bit with stability due to quite a few bumps. I lost my brakes going into turn four and then I lost it going into the last corner. It was not ideal."
Binder wa♔s encountering brake pad issues along both straights, but also the final part of the circuit which goes froꦑm left to right in quick change of direction before a hard braking final corner.
"We’ve got a lot of shaking down෴ the back straight, well both straights, and then espꦦecially in this last section with the chicane," stated Binder.
"Wheꦜn you come over the right the൩re’s a little bit of pumping and when you go over the curb it shakes a bit."
