As announced yesterday by LCR racer Stefan Bradl (who led the first day of practices), today’s second outing at Brno race track has been extremely tough for the German and his squad. Bradl was warily happy with his good result on day one and he was completely right because he could only get a third row spot (1’56.477) ahead tomorrow’s 22-lap race.

“Definitely it’s a frustrating day for me and the Team. I am not happy with the bike; actually I am missing edge grip and can not carry the corner speed I would like. Our qualifying session was very tough because I was not able to take advantage of a new rear tyre because I was pushing the front too much into the corner trying to make the lap time. As I opened the throttle I could not use the rear tyre because we had too much spinning. I am not able to make a good exit out of the corners and for this reason we are losing too much time. We are working hard to find a solution but, so far, we are struggling to find a good setting”.
