Bradl was looking for improvements after yesterday's first outing ahead of today’s qualifying session and he took full advantage of the improved track conditions this morning, after grip levels had improved considerably. The German did incredibly well pushing hard in the one hour qualifying session setting a fastest lap time of 1’39.437, securing a second row start ahead of the 28 lap race on Sunday.

"I am very pleased with the adjustments we made on the bike and P5 is a good place for us. Basically we are quite fast on both tyres: we had a good pace on hard tyre and I was expecting a bit more from the soft one but it’s okay anyway. I think we have a good race pace and a good overall package because today I felt very comfortable on the bike. The qualifying session was a bit weird with a lot of crashes: I found it a bit dangerous because out of the ideal line the surface was very slippery. The grip surely improved from yesterday but the track condition is not perfect."
