STEFAN STARTS THE WEEKEND WITH A STUNNING 2nd PLACE AT CATALUNYA
Montmeló, 13 June: Friday’s afternoon FP2 at scorching Montmeló race track ended with LCR Honda’s Stefan Bradl in 2nd position with a best lap time of 1’42.130. The opening day of the Gran Premi de Catalunya saw the German displaying a good form after the unfortunate weekend in Mugello as he qualified 5th fastest already in the morning FP1. Bradl is aiming to continue his progression tomorrow with a special care on tyres performances considering the heat.
Stefan: “Obviously I am quite happy about today because first and second session went both quite good. Our base set-up is working well and we made some little adjustments ahead the second session to improve the feedback from the front tyre. We were trying hard and soft tyre at the end of the session because it’s extremely important for the heat as Sunday will be probably very hot. We are not sure about tyre situation at this moment but overall our pace is quite good. Physically speaking I feel okay despite the tough weekend in Mugello. So I would say that this is another beginning for us and hope to continue in the same way even tomorrow”.
