\u201cI think I rely a lot on the rear wheel, on braking, entering, and also on the throttle,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I don\u2019t feel the hook-up that I normally need.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, that\u2019s what I really struggle with. But the reality is, Pedro is doing it.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, when you look at the data, you can see how he is doing it.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I need to try and ride his style a little bit; a little bit softer on the brakes, more rolling, and later on the gas. There is a way to do it, but I just need to figure it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since his MotoGP debut, Acosta\u2019s aggression on braking has been one of his key strengths.<\/p>\n
In comparing both his and his team-mate\u2019s style, Binder added: \u201cI pull a lot more pressure on the front brake.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe pulls a lot less pressure, but he keeps the bike completely square.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, it\u2019s completely two wheels [in line], so he can stop on two wheels, whereas I rely on one wheel. I need to get better at keeping the rear contact.\u201d<\/p>\n
Binder says his ability to stop better has been hindered by his old set-ups not working on the current bike.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe issue is that when we go in the direction of how I braked in the past, I keep losing the front.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, we don\u2019t load the front tyre there. So, it\u2019s not really an option anymore. So, we need to fine-tune these areas, especially in time attack is where it\u2019s really hurting me.\u201d<\/p>\n
