STEFAN BRADL IS THE FASTEST OPEN BIKE IN SEPANG
Sepang, 5 February: The first day of testing has ended positively for Team Forward Racing as Stefan Bradl sits on top of the standings for Open bikes. The German rider has continued his work to adapt to the Forward Yamaha bike completing 58 laps with a best time of 2.01.556, which earned him the eighth place overall, just a second short of leader Marquez.
“It has been a very positive first day. The lap time is good and finding yourself at the end of the session in the top 10 is definitely a good start. The feeling is also pretty good although I have yet to learn to take the right confidence with the Magneti Marelli software. I have in front of me two more days of work and I’m sure I can find a good setting to be immediately fast in the first race”.
