Under new regulations from the start of the 2013 season, qualifying is divided into two segments and LCR racer Stefan Bradl secured a QP2 phase at Austin race track thanks to his overall best lap times from across the opening trio of practice sessions.
The German impressed with his third position in yesterday first outing at the new MotoGP venue, and he repeated his strong performance even in the qualifying session posting the 5th fastest lap time on his RC213V.
Stefan Bradl:
"Today it was a good day for us because we could use the full potential of the hard tyre which is a positive sign for us. In the fourth practice we were able to make a longer distance evaluating the reaction of the hard tyre. We improved our consistency and I am pleased with the bike set-up so far because we can be fast from the first lap till the end of the race… Today’s qualifying went well but I am not totally happy with the result. However top five is our target and we can stay with the guys up in the pack”.
