Bradl won by Rossis penalty at the end of the field still has a place in the starting grid.
Thus Stefan could set off from 13th instead of 14th the start succeeded as usual quite well, Stefan was in the first round equal to the tenth.
In the third round Stefan was overtaken by Rossi and then Stefan stay long on 12th position.
With two laps to left Stefan still in 15th place, but was then caught yet of Redding, Barbera and Hayden. The reason for this was a brake problem on the Aprilia, Stefan had to use the rear brake more that the rear tire did not get as good. The tire had no more reserves, therefore Bradl could no longer defend himself.
Thus, the season was a disappointing conclusion, although Stefan the last 10 laps rides on the limit.
On Tuesday already begins the new season, the new Michelins are tested in Valencia.
We wish you a short winter and thank you for your interest!
In the fourth free practice a modified swingarm pivot was tested on Stefans Aprilia, which but not turned out to be progress. For the Qualy was downgraded back to the tried and tested settings.
Most headaches are still preparing the service life of the rear tire, because the race distance is more than 30 rounds, but in FP4 they discovered that the rear tires after 20 laps extremely degrades.
Stefan hopes that they still find a good solution for this problem until the race.
Nevertheless Stefan says they worked well and were well prepared for the race.
With a little luck even points could be in there.
In the first Qualy Stefan could realize the target set with the Top14 placement, he was beaten only by the factory riders Aleix Espargaro, Maverick Vinales and Emanuele Pirro.
That means tomorrow on the 14th place on the grid, so how in Sepang the 5th row.
But because Rossi has to start from last place due to its failure in Sepang, Bradl moves one position better to 13th.
The weather for tommorow must could be ok , it should be warm, dry and sunny.
We wish you all a super exciting, last race of the season to give the title decision in MotoGP between Rossi and Lorenzo and above all a good race again by Stefan with hopefully many points!
Stefan became apparent after the first free practice satisfied even if it was not enough in the Q2 for direct qualification.
The reason for this is due because the lap times are close together in track characteristics. There are 13 drivers within one second, Stefan lost the fastest Iannone just 1.177 seconds, making it 15th after the third free practice session.
The setup work was of course still continued and the focus of the set-up work was to optimize tire life. Based on the combined timesheet is good to see that they are working effectively and faster. The electronic issue of yesterday is apparently history, at least it appeared no longer today.
Stefan had fun riding, but is of the opinion that it will be difficult under normal circumstances, to finish in the points.
The starting grid will be in the afternoon further shed light on what give the races of possibilities exists.
We cross our fingers in the hope that a similarly good starting place as in Sepang pops out.
Target are the Top 14th
