‘I am going to Qatar feeling a lot more confident’
Brad Binder has two great fears — snakes and sitting outside the top 10 after the first qualifying run as he seeks to determine his starting spot on the MotoGP grid.
He has long been called a Sunday rider, perhaps unfairly, better on race day than in qualifying, which has forced him to fight through the field to be in podium contention.“It was good that the preseason testing was positive,” said Binder. “We made some small steps forward from last season so I am going to Qatar feeling a lot more confident than I have been in previous years.
“I wasn’t happy for most of last year. I didn’t feel we were at a point where I could really perform the way I wanted to and the way that I was capable of. “I’ve learnt so much over the past two seasons it’s difficult just to pick a couple things in particular. I think each year has come with its own sets of challenges — in my first I had to manage my expectations a bit. I often wanted too much, too soon and made a lot of mistakes.
