Bradl Disappointed With Sixth In Indy

German LCR Honda MotoGP rider Stefan Bradl finished in 6th position after an entertaining battle at the front in the early stages. On his first visit to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on a MotoGP bike, Bradl had his second best qualifying performance of the season yesterday, heading into today’s race with hopes but the young German was unable to match his yesterday’s impressive pace.

"Honestly it was not one of our best races so far and I am a bit disappointed because we looked stronger than this. Sixth position is not a disaster but I was expecting a bit more considering the pace of our qualification yesterday. Unfortunately I was not able to push in the first gear corners and I was losing quite a lot in the acceleration areas. I tried to pull it back in section 2 and section 3, which was possible in the begging but not over the all race distance. At the end I had to accept that today we were not so strong but we are doing well and we still hold the sixth position in the world standing."
