Eurosport's commentary (I think it was Moody) during the BMW award qualifying session mentioned that Canepa uses a thumb brake due to having big feet.

Yeah - I believe that i read that too somewhere.... probably crash.net

They need to use the rear brake to have any hope of stopping at all until the front warms up, at least to say for carbon front brakes

Nicky used to use a thumb brake when he was on the RC-51 in the States.

Maybe he should go back to that?
