After a cold and wet weekend in Le Mans, the premier class rider took the Mugello circuit today for the first day of practices of the Gran Premio d’Italia on a damp surface after last days heavy rain. The LCR Honda racer Stefan Bradl lapped strongly with the top riders since his first outing this morning as he is a real estimator of the Tuscan circuit. However the tricky conditions slightly affected the german’s pace who finished the day in 8th position (1’49.595).

“First of all I think it was a strange first day due to the tricky conditions of the asphalt. In the morning it was partially damp and, even in the afternoon, it was not completely dry so I think that Honda has bigger problems compared to the Yamaha’s in these conditions. Actually we are not far from the pace compared to the other Honda riders and this is a good sign. We are hoping to improve our rear grip situation because P8 is okay but not enough for us on this track”.
