Stefan Bradl got 8 points today on the race after finished on the eight place. The LCR Honda rider said that the problem is from the tyre. They decided to use hard compound on the race after what happened on the practice and qualifying session. Unfortunately they were spinning and Bradl was lack of grip.
Bradl said, “In the first part of the race I could follow the top riders and I was very aggressive. But as soon as the tyres started to work properly we had some issue and it started spinning too much. We were on the hard tyre considering the last two days track temperature while the most of the guys in front were on the soft ones."
He continue, "Unfortunately the spinning started very early because we did not have enough edge grip compared to the other riders and we were also expecting to have more dry grip but at the end it was not there. I am a bit frustrated because my potential and the bike package were there but we could not use the tyre correctly. Eight position is still okay and in tomorrow’s testing day we are looking forward to improve the bike for future races”.
