The exception of turn 3​

The MotoGP riders use their brakes on all the turns at the Circuito de Jerez Angel Nieto with the exception of turn 3. However, the braking moments on turns 4, 7, 10 and 12 all last less than 2 seconds. The brake system is used for a total of 35 seconds per lap, a record for a track that is less than 4.5 kilometers (2.7 miles) long.

Summing up all of the forces applied by a rider on the Brembo brake lever from the starting line to the checkered flag, the result comes to just over 11 tons, the third highest of the season after Misano Adriatico and Valencia. The total load is 43.5 kg (95.9 lb) on each lap but exceeds 5 kg (11 lb) on only 3 turns on the Andalusian track. ​
