UNEXPECTED TOUGH Q2 SESSION FOR BRADL: 9th ON THE GRID OF MUGELLO GP

mugelloq2

Mugello, 31 May: today’s second outing at Mugello race track has been extremely tough for LCR Honda’s Stefan Bradl who initially suffered a crash in the fast sector on turn 13 in this morning free session, and later in the afternoon, he struggled to make the most from his RC213V qualifying in 9th place ahead tomorrow’s 23-lap race.

Stefan: “It was a quite tough qualifying and I am disappointed about my grid position because I wanted to be more in front especially on this race track. Anyway the lap time is good and with 1 tenth faster we could have been on the second row. The Team made a good job today after the crash and I have a good feeling on the bike for the race tomorrow. Starting from the third row is not what I was expecting but there’s a long way to the first corner and many things can happen. As I said yesterday the Ducati riders have a strong pace here and it is going to be a close race but we’ll try our best to finish in the top five”.
