The Aragón GP opening day got underway in similar conditions to Misano last time out with a damp track hindering the riders’ preparations and an intense track cleaning procedure with LCR racer Stefan Bradl sitting out the first morning session like the majority of his colleagues.
Then premier class riders were greeted with rain for their second run out and the 22-year-old ended the day in sixth, after looking strong all session on his RC213V machine completing 14 laps (2’01.626).
Stefan: “This second outing in the wet was not that bad for us. Since the beginning I had a good feeling with my bike in the wet and the whole package was functioning in the right way. We have tried to improve a bit my front feeling because I was struggling a bit in the downhill corners and after that we made a little suspension modification and it worked well. When the surface started to dry up a little bit I felt too much pressure on the tires but at the end I think we are in a good shape and well prepared for another rainy day on track”.
