The opening round of 2013 campaign at the desert track saw LCR Honda Stefan Bradl failing to finish the 22-lap night race. The German (Moto2 World Champion of 2011) headed into his second campaign of MotoGP quietly confident and he strongly secured a second row start in yesterday’s qualifying. Bradl was in sixth on the eighth lap when he lost the front end in turn 7 and fell, unhurt.

“Since the beginning of the race I was not enough confident with the front tyre feeling and I felt the same issue we suffered on Friday; probably even worse. We felt not so bad in the warm-up session as I was lapping consistently fast. Unfortunately in the race I could not push over the front and could not do anything to improve my pace. Rossi passed me and I was not capable to follow him because of this front issue as I was losing the front in every corner. Honestly I have not made any mistake so I can not explain exactly why I crashed. We will investigate checking the data together with my technicians”.
