You are riding in steady rain on a 60 km/h road. What is the best approach to managing braking on a wet road?

1. Apply brakes progressively and earlier than normal, spreading the braking force across both front and rear brakes
2. Brake sharply and firmly just before the hazard to maximise deceleration
3. Use only the rear brake in wet conditions to avoid front-wheel skid
4. Avoid braking at all; use only engine braking by downshifting
