Rear brake when cornering.

I had Alex Cudlin for a one on one coaching day a while back. He really pushes it, I honestly hadn't used it at all till then.
Rear break at 70% every Cnr he told me. consequently I've started to use it in all cnrs but rights are difficult, very unsettling scraping the toe.

AC was also mentioning this at a track day. I quizzed him on what he does in the right handers. Says he has to twist his foot and use the side of his foot to increase clearance.
He also mentioned that he has had many opportunities to use a thumb brake but has declined as he reckons he would love it so much that he couldn't go back to a foot brake.

That's a big call hey! Maybe when I do the thumb brake thing, I will piss the foot brake off altogether. I won't miss it, I think I maybe use it every now and then leaving the pits? On the old R1 I used it coming onto the straight to control wheelies, but I haven't even used it on the CBR yet...

Wolfie was telling me a while back just how often he uses the rear brake.

Just this year though, since Lorenzo has gone to Ducati, he has started using the rear alot as he NEVER used to use it. All down to personal preference maybe? Seems like a useful tool to have in the bag of tricks though...

I need me some AC or DC training that's for sure.
