Brad Binder : First Time Having Vibration Problems
Brad BinderBrad Binder explained, “I was disappointed because I assumed that I would have a better pace. But after a few laps, I realized that I couldn’t keep up with the leaders. And even before that, it was difficult because my start was clearly worse than yesterday. It was “It was my fault because I let the clutch work too fast and resulted in a wheelie. As a result, the starting position immediately dropped and there was no possibility of overtaking.”
Brad Binder faced a new problem at Jerez which prevented him from getting a better placing. For the first time, he complained of vibrations in the RC16. He expressed that this was incomprehensible and not a good feeling. However, the bike experienced vibration problems during the race.
“This is a new experience because before the race in Jerez it had never happened before, at least for me. It was quite noticeable and happened from the start of the race. Unfortunately, I was not able to develop a good cornering speed in the corner. This is really strange and we have to observe and understand. In short , unfortunately this is not a good weekend for us,” concluded Jack Miller‘s colleague.
