The MotoGP World Championship continues its swing through the European heart of the schedule with a stop at the famous “24 Heures circuit du Mans” with LCR Honda racer Stefan Bradl occupying the 11th position overall (1’35.201) in the first day of practices.
In dry but cool conditions, MotoGP riders headed out for the first free practices to get ready for the fourth round of the championship this season in the Sarthe region of France and German rookie had to learn how to perform on this surface aboard the RC213V.
Stefan: “It was a tough first day for me because it’s always difficult to arrive on a new circuit riding a new bike: actually I need one practice at least to get a base set up, the correct balance and a base ideal line. This morning was quite difficult for me considering the low grip conditions and I was struggling almost everywhere along the track. But in the afternoon we could really improve everywhere and I feel quite positive because we are closer to the P8. We can find something more in the overall package because we are not at 100% yet as I am struggling in the entry of the corners and I do not have enough front feeling”.
