This overtake didn’t happen at the braking marker. It started three corners earlier. I was watching where he was strong, where he was protecting the inside, where he was losing exit drive, and where I could stay close without forcing the move too early. That’s the part people don’t always see. The pass is only the final moment. The real work is the setup. Chess Game ♟️ The patience. The pressure. The timing. The exit before the straight. The decision not to rush. On a Yamaha R9, you don’t always win by being aggressive. Sometimes you win by reading the rider in front and making the move when the corner gives it to you. This one felt good. #YamahaR9 #TrackDay #MotorcycleRacing #brandshatch
