BRADL ENDS UP IN 9th PLACE HIS SECOND TOUGH OUTING AT SILVERSTONE
Silverstone, 30 August: after yesterday’s impressive 2nd position on day one at Silverstone race track, LCR rider Stefan Bradl was convinced that more had to come from his CWM Honda machine but the former Moto2 World Champion ran into two crashes before the QP2. He escaped unhurt from both incidents but he missed some confidence to set a proper quick lap time in the afternoon showdown. Bradl will start from the third row on the grid for the 20-lap race, which will start at 13:00 local time.
Stefan: “Yesterday we finished the day in a very good position but unfortunately today the situation turns around and we are back in 9th position. So it’s definitively a disappointing day. This morning we had a really high-speed crash due to a big windblast that made me loose the front. The bike was very damaged and we had to use the other bike for the FP4 with a harder front tyre because we kept the softer for the qualifying. Probably the hard tyre was not the right choice because we crashed another time in the breaking area so our QP2 was made to get back some confidence and P9 is the maximum I could do. I am really frustrated and I am sorry for the mechanics because they have a lot to do to fix both bikes for tomorrow. Anyway we have to think positive trying to score as many points as possible”.
