MotoGP Sachsenring, Qualifying: Stefan Bradl “It's a shame to have lost the front row”

Stefan Bradl, 2011 Moto2 champion and rider of the LCR MotoGP Team, will start from the second row tomorrow in "his" German Grand Prix. The representative of Team LCR Honda led most of the qualifying sessions (held in the wet), giving his fans and his team an excellent result. The word is up to him.

“We didn't expect a wet qualifying session today too but in the end it rained a lot. However, we also performed very well in the wet. We did a good job setting up and throughout the session we were fast and precise: this is a positive sign. Thanks to the changes I adapted easily and quickly to the wet and I was riding with a very good pace. Eventually the track started to dry and everyone pushed to do better, including myself. Unfortunately I found some slower riders on my last lap and the front row disappeared. It's a shame but we can be happy with the work we did and the result.”
