"No, it’s not a pincer move. Look at Luns, Luns seems to have braked early."
The first corner saw too many changes. The first corner was a must-fight zone. Luns, having received a warning from the team, was clearly prepared. As for Reisner, his position was in the middle of the track, and it would be difficult for him to brake late and hold his position.
Entering the corner from the middle of the track was much more difficult than braking for them.
Gripping the brakes tightly, Reisner shifted his body's center of gravity as much as possible to the rear of the car, his right leg suspended.
Reisner executed an overly aggressive brake, simultaneously blocking both riders in the corner, his rear wheel lifting off the ground.
A pincer move! The positioning was perfect.
At the first corner, Reisner, by braking late, overtook two riders to move into third. Luns also seemed to have anticipated the KTM rider's maneuver, braking early for the corner. As the KTM rider blocked him, Luns pulled out early.
As they exited the corner, the positions of all three had changed.
Reisner moved to the front, taking third place. Luns was fourth, and the KTM rider dropped to last.
The changes in this corner truly stunned the fans. Reisner, who was previously in the back, had managed to reach the front under pressure, while the KTM rider in the middle had fallen to last.
"Wow, Reisner's move was awesome, a pincer move, truly impressive!"
"Couldn't agree more. After all, he's a two-time world champion in the highest category. He might not be fully adapted to the car, but his skills are undeniable, especially his timing. It was spot on."
Two veteran fans in the stands discussed Reisner's overtake.
"This guy, it seems his adaptation to the car has improved further in these few laps."
Below the stands, Viñales nodded, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
To execute a pincer move, one not only needs precise brake control but also excellent timing. It wasn't about braking harder, but about braking at the opportune moment. The KTM rider had blocked Luns' line entering the corner, and Reisner had to block both of them simultaneously to achieve this.
The racing bikes roared past. The Chinese audience was ecstatic, while the Thai fans were considerably subdued.
The three bikes exited the corner in succession. On the straight, half a kilometer before the second corner, their positions remained the same. Luns drafted behind Reisner's car, while the KTM rider could only draft air.
