BRADL GETS THE 4TH SPOT ON THE GRID AHEAD FRENCH GP
Le Mans, 17 May: premier class riders completed their second day of work at sunny Le Mans circuit ahead tomorrow’s 28-lap race which will see LCR Honda’s Stefan Bradl starting from the 4th spot on the grid. Bradl showed his fully recovered form after the arm pump surgery of last week, recording a 1’32.846 fastest lap time on his ELF branded RCV. The German expects a very close race in the front because he will share the second row with Rossi and Lorenzo but he is determined to finish the French Grand Prix in the top-five.
Stefan: “After yesterday’s several tests, we went back to our standard geometry that we used in the past races because I have more front feeling. Our pace is pretty good and I am happy about the 4th place today (also considering my recent surgery) but we must be realistic. The other riders are very fast too and I am starting from the second row with two big rivals like Rossi and Lorenzo. Even Pedrosa will push to catch the front group so our target is to finish in the top five. This would be a very good result for us. My arm is getting better and today it was not necessary to have a painkiller injection”.
