Brad Binder “messed up at the end”, Dani Pedrosa bike change
Rider Brad Binder had a disappointing finish to Friday afternoon’s free practice at the MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix, after a high-speed crash in the closing minutes left him just 0.1 seconds outside the top ten. The incident made Binder look the other way as he will now have to fight in Qualifier 1 on Saturday.
Despite the unfortunate outcome, Binder highlighted the positive aspects of the day. He expressed his satisfaction with the improvement in performance, especially after testing various parameters of the front suspension in the morning. The South African rider felt more confident on the bike and was fast from the start of the afternoon session. However, a crucial mistake ultimately compromised his fastest lap, causing him to lose control of the front of the bike.
Binder admitted that his performance was promising and that there is potential for more. Despite the setback, he remains optimistic about his chances of racing in the top positions for the rest of the weekend.
Meanwhile, Dani Pedrosa also had problems during the afternoon session. The Spanish rider had problems with one of the bikes and decided to switch to the other to try to improve his performance. Unfortunately his decision to make the change did not produce the expected results and Pedrosa ended up having an accident. He still managed to recover and end the session in the best possible way, even if this was not enough to guarantee a place in Qualification 2.
Pedrosa highlighted the importance of making quick and effective changes during training, highlighting the need to quickly adapt to track conditions and bike performance. His determination to face challenges and find solutions demonstrates his experience and ability as a pilot.
As Saturday approaches, both Binder and Pedrosa will focus on recovering from the previous day’s failures and ensuring a good performance during qualifying. Both riders have the potential to excel and compete in the top positions, and their determination to overcome obstacles could be the key to success at the MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix.
