LCR Honda Review Race MotoGP Valencia

Tweet

In the final SOLD-OUT race of the 2013 calendar in Valencia (more than 104.000 spectators), the Spanish racer Marc Marquez has been crowned the premier class World Champion whilst the LCR Honda rider Stefan Bradl finished the 30-lap race in 6th position overcoming the unfortunate history which saw the German never completing a race at the 4.005Km circuit. 

Stefan ends his second season in the premier class in 7th place with 156 points. 

Stefan Bradl 

“First of all I want to thank my Team for their excellent job during the season and, for the first time in my career, I could finished the race in Valencia so I am happy to keep working with this crew in 2014. The race itself was quite tough as we expected because we have been struggling with front-end issues for the whole weekend. Actually it was not a bad race but we lost a bit of time in certain areas so we will focus on those points from tomorrow during the testing days. My best moment of the season was Laguna Seca podium because we did an incredible job the whole weekend whilst the worst moment was the injury in Malaysia but I can say that, even in that case, Lucio and the guys were incredibly professional making my recovery easy and fast. The 2013 season is over but we will start working on 2014 in less than 24 hours…”. 

Lucio Cecchinello

“The first time I went into the paddock was 1993 so this means that I have just celebrated my 20th year in this world and I am pleased to do this together with Stefan. Our season together was one of the most exciting we had so far because we achieved several good results including the podium in Laguna Seca and we helped Stefan to grow up. We could have finished in the top 5 at the end of this championship but Stefan’s injury in Malaysia affected our plan. In any case I am happy to continue with Stefan because he is a talented rider and has a strong personality”.
