BRITISH GP: NEXT STEP TO ACHIEVE IN SILVERSTONE
Stefan Bradl collected his first championship points aboard the Aprilia RS-GP last time out on track in the Czech Republic. Of course he would like to build on this strong performance at the British Grand Prix this weekend.
To start the Brno race in 14th position on the grid and to finish it in the same position is a huge motivation not only for Bradl himself as well for the entire team who is developing the still young project. Beyond that Bradl was able to rest his recently operated right wrist in order to improve his condition. So due to these facts he is focussed to make the next step at the demanding and iconic Silverstone Circuit in Great Britain.
#6 Stefan BRADL (Aprilia Racing Team Gresini, Aprilia) – World Championship position 19 (11 points):
“The two weeks break after Brno was a welcome occasion to give my wrist a rest but also to continue physical therapies in order to strengthen it further. So I hope that I won’t have to mention this problems any more. But I can’t wait to get back on track now. The results we achieved in Brno really motivated the entire team and beyond that I like the track layout in Silverstone a lot. Although we’ll need to work hard to do well in these many fast direction changes there. Our priority for the upcoming race weekend continue the same by improving our consistency in terms of performance over race distance.“
