Darryn Binder's summary of his race in Thailand is an element to be placed in the open file at Yamaha, whose riders have all regretted a front tire which is shown to be too high in pressure before overheating. This is exactly what happened to the South African rookie at RNF who had not started his event too badly in Buriram before the phenomenon manifested itself. Here is his version…
Qualified 23rd, Darryn binder moved up very early in the peloton in this 17th race of the season as he found himself 18th. The RNF pilot even found himself able to attack fabio quartararo but he had to change his mind. And it wasn’t because of team instructions… “ After five laps I was close to Fabio » he says. “ I felt good and had already prepared my maneuver, but then the front started to block everywhere. I don't know if the front tire overheated. Because my front wheel kept locking up, I made a lot of mistakes »Regrets Darryn Binder on Speedweek. « I couldn't keep the line, so I just took the bike home ».
Darryn Binder: “ It went bad, but in the end I at least felt a little safer »
“It was a very disappointing day” sums up Brad’s brother. “I still got a good start and did well in the first laps. However, I couldn't see anything at all on the straights between turns 1 and 3, as well as between turns 3 and 4. It was really shocking. I did the first 3 or 4 laps in a straight line in fourth gear at half throttle. », also admitted the pilot of 24 years.
« I managed to overtake other drivers. I was still able to go up a little. I tried to keep the same pace, but I think everyone went faster. No matter what I tried, it no longer worked for me. I'm really disappointed, even though at first I thought it was really good », said the pilot Yamaha , who will ride a Kalex in Moto2 with the Intact GP team next year. “ It was good at first, then it went bad, but in the end I at least felt a little safer. This is so and I will attack again at Phillip Island” he finishes.
