Sepang, 6 February: the third and last day of the pre-season testing at Sepang was Marquez ruling over his rivals with a best lap time of 1’59.533. On the other side LCR racer Stefan Bradl, who made a big step forward yesterday qualifying in 3rd position, produced longer runs today working on tyre durability and fuel consumption. Bradl finished the three days of track running with the 5th fastest lap time overall (2’00.112) and leaves the Malaysian circuit with valuable feedback for the next 3-day test session scheduled from 26th to 28th February.

Stefan Bradl: “We leave Malaysia with a good base set-up and I am quite happy about the overall work we have done in the last three days. There are some areas to improve like the braking stability but I feel good on this new bike. Today we focused on the race simulation but my long run was disrupted by a small issue with the rear brake. However I was able to proceed with my daily programme achieving a good feedback from the new hard compound. I hope that we can continue to improve in the next test”.
