Stefan Bradl: Preparation for Márquez and Lorenzo

By Günther Wiesinger - 26.11.2018 21:42

As the vanguard for Wednesday's and Thursday's MotoGP test, Honda test driver Stefan Bradl was already in the Superbike field at Jerez today.

Stefan Bradl (28) was on the road today at the Circuito de Jerez without a time trial tram ponder, he was the only GP pilot among the superbikes of Kawasaki, Yamaha and Ducati. And for the first time after seven days at LCR-Honda (three days in Sepang, three days at the GP in Valancia and one day at the IRTA test at the Circuit Rivcardo Tormo) he drove his test machine from the Honda European Test Team with crew Chief Klaus Nöhles as contact person.

As always in private tests, Bradl was not allowed to comment on his lap times or details of his test program because of his HRC contract. Due to the new black "aero body" (winglets and fairing) but urged for each observer suspicion that the Bayer was traveling with a new aerodynamics.

Bradl also has the task to test with his factory Honda new set-up solutions, he had already hinted in Valencia, where he had landed on Tuesday in 5th place. "We are looking for and testing new voting variants, because Honda wants to use the softer tire compounds in the front in 2019." So far, Márquez, Crutchlow & Co. had always had to drive the hard compounds in front - unlike Ducati, Yamaha and Suzuki.

Bradl had predicted his buddy Sandro Cortese before his SBK debut in Jerez that he would soon have to expect an extended arm length after getting to know the 1000 cc Superbike Yamaha. On the first day they met each other on the racetrack.

Bradl was also commissioned to tune the latest version of the Honda RC213V to the Jerez Circuit and deliver the data to the Repsol team with Márquez and Lorenzo, giving the HRC duo a head start on the first day in Jerez becomes.

"On Wednesday and Thursday sit at Honda only the regular drivers on the machines," said Stefan Bradl. "My test work is done by then."

A reliable timekeeping did not exist with Stefan Bradl. By handstop was determined by the SBK teams for him a time of 1: 40.1 min. World Champion Johnny Rea shined with the superbike Kawa with a best time of 1: 39.657 min.
