MotoGP Brno: Stefan Bradl “I wanted to fight with Rossi and Bautista but I had grip problems at the rear”

Stefan bradl he closed the Brno Grand Prix in 6th place, however, behind the riders who preceded him. The German raced almost alone, trying mid-race to catch up with Rossi and Bautista fighting for 4th place, but without succeeding. His Honda here in Brno had grip problems when entering corners and therefore he wasn't able to lap as fast as he wanted.

“Sixth position isn't that bad – said Stefan Bradl – considering how the whole weekend went. Unfortunately we weren't able to improve the bike as I wanted because I had several problems with rear grip with the bike leaned into corners, both when I was leaning to the left and to the right. I had to fight to get the bike back up when exiting the corners. I tried various things to save the rear tire but with these long corners I had to maintain a good cornering speed. We wanted to stay with Rossi and Bautista but I wasn't able to lap as fast as them. Now let's roll up our sleeves for Silverstone"
