NEXT STOP: BRNO CIRCUIT
After his well-done debut aboard the Aprilia RS-GP at Indy last week, Stefan Bradl aims high for the Czech GP in Brno this weekend.
During the short break after his return from the United States the 25 year young German was able to give his recently operated right wrist a welcome rest before he traveled to the Czech Republic for round eleven of this year’s championship. Bradl knows th 5.4 kilometres long Brno circuit very well where he won his first ever Grand Prix in the 125cc class back in 2008.
#6 Stefan BRADL (Aprilia Racing Team Gresini, Aprilia) – WM-Position 19 (9 Punkte):
“We’re back at a track that I know very well and where I had good results in the past, so I can’t wait to jump back on my Aprilia back again. On paper Brno is also physically less demanding track than Indianapolis last time, so I hope that my right wrist doesn’t give me problems, also considering the fact that I had a few days’ rest. I’ll also be able to begin practice starting from a level of familiarity with the bike which is definitely a higher level. From this point of view the clearly target is to do better this weekend.“
