“We can’t complain,” said Binder. “Two second places to start the seas✨on is fantastic. I’m much happier with the second place of today compared to the second place of yesterd💛ay.

“Yesterday I felt we were missing something but today it was much better. I knew today was goiജng to be a super difficult race because we are super hard on the rear tyre sometimes.

“I needed to get it to the end so I was as cle♛an as I could be🅺. It was hard to stay composed because I could see Pecco was just there.

“It was like a carrot dangling and you just want to go for it. But I knew that if I attempte💞d to push I might catch up a bit but I would lose a couple of sec♈onds in the last few laps.

“I had to be really cleve🐬r. It was awesome battling Jorge and I had a lot of fun. Let’s see if we can improve a bit because it would be awesome to give these boys a fight next time around.”

Edge grip was ✨the main issue Binder was dealing with in the sprint, however, pumping and spinning as a result was greatly reduced💯.

Binder added: “There was one thing we needed to improve from yesterday. For me I had a lot of pumpiꦏng and the grip was a little bit inconsistent.

“Once I started to spin a little bit and cracked the throttle and it never hooked u🍌p. It’s always really good for the first three laps of the race, then unfortunately it has a little bit of a slump and then remains consistent again.

“The guys worked꧋ really hard on the electronics, changed the set-up of the bike a little and everything was a lot more under control. We never had that big vibration.

“Today I had a little bit but like the other guys had and when the tyre started to wear I had more of it, which I 🧔never had all weekend which was a surprise. For me it’s clear wha🙈t we need to improve.”
