    Agreed. I've always trail braked a lot, and slowly ease up on the brake pressure all the way to nothing as I'm approaching maximum lean. It keeps the front end planted and stable, and allows for later braking.

    The Vinales method is more suited to a very powerful bike with shit corner speed (think Vargs on his 10R)..... get it stopped going in as straight as possible, turn it on a dime at low relative mid-corner speed, then stand it upright and bury the throttle all the way out. It suits some bikes and riding styles (and tracks) more than others.
