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

Brad Binder says his ‘close my eyes and go’ approach to time attacks on the 2025 KTM MotoGP bike does🌠n’t work anymor𝕴e.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Friday at the British Grand Prix proved to be a difficult𝔉 day for the KTM factory, as none of its riders 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 ꦓpace set by Gresini’s Alex꧋ Marquez in Practice.
Binde𒁃r explained that the 2025 KTM needs to be ridden with more “calm” than its predecessor, which hi♈s riding style doesn’t suit anymore.
“At the moment, it’s like you need do eve♋rything calm,” he said in response to a question from on ꧅Friday at Silverstone.
“You need to brake gently, turn in slowly, you can’t be﷽ really aggressi𝓡ve 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, and this is not working at🌊 the moment.
“So, I need to change up my approach for t💞ime attacks and hopefully we can find some extra performa🍒nce.”
Binder has form at Silv🍷erston⭕e, getting onto the podium in the 2023 British GP, but says the feeling on the KTM this weekend hasn’t changed since then.
“Really similar, to be honest,” he added.
“Everything is ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚworking really similar,🌳 the feeling on the bike is quite the same.
“Really missing t𓆉he ability to put that extra quick lap in. Need ♋to figure out the time attack a bit.”
The Sout✅h African saysไ he is losing out mostly in the final two sectors of the Silverstone circuit in qualifying trim, but the data from Acosta should help him improve in the final split.
“T1 [sector one] looks fin🎃e, T2 not bad,” he said.
“It’s three and our ꦕwhere I’m losing mainly, T4 especiallওy.
“The last sector is super ꦯtight, but I think we have a good reference there because Pedro is really fast in the last secto✨r.
“So, it will be good to see how he does that so I can copy tha🌠t. And then, the T3 I just need to keep a bit♏ more speed through the fast stuff.”
