As a prelude to the first of the two Grands Prix which will take place in Misano, Stefan bradl informs us in the press release of the Repsol Honda team that it has “ progressed well in the first three races. " And that's true !
It must be said that it could hardly have been otherwise, finishing last in the Czech Republic Grand Prix, 55 seconds behind!
Also last during the Austrian Grand Prix, but only 28 seconds back, recovery took place the following weekend during the Styrian Grand Prix, which the German driver finished in 18th place, ahead of Bradley Smith, Michele Pirro and Tito Rabat.
With such a level of performance, it is still a little difficult to believe that the work of the Honda test driver will make it possible to offer Marc Márquez an improved RC213V when he returns. A return that we hope is as quick as possible, given the very modest current performance of his replacement!
However, after a friendly visit to the unfortunate Sandro Cortese, Stefan Bradl presents himself in Misano with a slight advantage over the competition, even if his last race on the Italian Riviera dates back to his wildcard in 2018: He has already toured in private testing on the brand new surface, immediately after the Styrian Grand Prix. Enough to familiarize yourself with the new grip and adjust your machine accordingly...
Stefan bradl : " I'm happy to be back with the Repsol Honda team for Misano. We made good progress in the first three races and I have good experience of Misano. As always, it will be a busy weekend, but we are leaving with more information and data than in previous races, which will help us to be stronger from the start. Let's see what the weekend brings us. »
