Bradl: “I am happy with the top 10”

German rider looking forward to the rest of the season after improvements at Aragon

With a top ten finish at the Gran Premio Movistar de Aragon Stefan Bradl left Spain looking ahead to the forthcoming flyaway triple-header in a positive mood.

Having qualified in 12th place on the grid on the improving RS-GP at Aragon the Aprilia Racing Team Gresini rider worked hard in Sunday’s race to earn a top ten result, just behind his teammate Alvaro Bautista who was ninth.

Stefan Bradl (P10): “I am happy with the top 10 and the weekend in general. We improved during practice and I hope to be able to continue this trend in the coming races. We took a step forward in terms of settings from the Misano race, especially improving in the braking phase and giving me a better feeling with the front tyre.”

“We were able to further perfect things here, finding a good base straight away on Friday and then working to sort the details. Obviously, there is still room for improvement, for example in taking better advantage of the rear tyre to be faster with new tyres, but we are not far off. Now I have high expectations for myself for the season finale.”
