After persistent fog in the morning led to a delay in the timetable for the Warm Up, certain from the late morning early summer weather with plenty of sunshine and high temperatures, the conditions at the Circuito de Jerez. The grip level the 4.4 kilometer runway in Andulasien is on hot days always a touchy subject. So also on Sunday afternoon.

# 6 Stefan BRADL (Aprilia Racing Team Gresini, Aprilia) – 14th (WM-position 13, 17 points):
“I am satisfied with my race. Points are always important, but today’s result is counted twice. After a difficult weekend we made it on their own in the top 15th On training days we tried many things on and the motorcycle. In these conditions it was difficult to find grip. For this reason, we have worked intensively on the damping, both front and rear. My start was better compared to the last two races a lot and I managed to make up some positions in the first two rounds. Incidentally, this was important for the further course of the race. Approximately halfway through the race I was a bit taken out the pace, because I realized I can not be more the front tire demand too much. In addition, I had to wear the rear tire well under control. That was my advantage over my direct opponents in the closing stages. So I could set something again and I even managed to Yonny Hernandez trap yet. These two points are very important for us and do us really good. Given the few failures in the points, is certainly a success for us. “a
Strong comeback of Philipp Öttl in Barcelona
The seventh round of the Motorcycle World Championship was held in Barcelona. Since 1992, the Grand Prix of Catalunya will take place on the track of Montmelo. Philipp Öttl had broken right wrist at the race in Le Mans just four weeks ago. A return was scheduled for the running end of June in Assen. Philipp trained daily with his coach and physiotherapist Franz Dietzinger and his form improved dramatically in the last few days. Most problems, however, prepared nor the limited mobility in her right wrist. This could be at the track, improve in the Clinica Mobile extent that Philip decided already to go in Barcelona at the start. On the first training day of the 19-year-old surprised with rank 22. In the afternoon, in the class Moto2 a tragic accident in which Luis Salom of Spain fatal accident occurred. For security reasons the last stretch, up to the Formula 1 variant with additional harassment was replaced. The narrow route with many changes of direction prepared Philipps wrist more trouble and he slid in qualifying back in 28th, respectively. The race, over 22 laps and Philip fell in the initial phase back to rank 32nd But his plan to stay out of constant driving and as far as possible from risky two combatants, paid off. At mid-race he was already in 25th place. In the second half of the race he was able to improve again at eight positions and crossed in 17th place to the finish line. Only two seconds separated him from a points position. Now In the overall standings he is in 15th place.
Philipp Öttl:
“The race was expected difficult. I could not attack because of the injury. It was important to ride constant times and to make any big mistakes. Now I have three weeks to prepare myself for the next race in Assen. There I should already have nearly my normal form and come under its own power in the points. I want to thank my Trainier Franz Dietzinger and the team of the Clinica Mobile. By your support, I could so early return to the World Cup again. “
The GRAN PREMI MONSTER ENERGY DE CATALUNYA is now history, after the sad Friday at Luis Salom lost his life, there were also smaller positive aspects.
Stefan was yesterday re-enter championship points, but was not particularly happy because teammate Bautista beat him clearly. Stefan was 12, Bautista finish eighth. Bradl was overtaken by Bautista and wondered how this had so much “more Grip”.
In each corner Alvaro was harder pure drive and out speed, Stefan could follow him is not.
After the race, Stefan’s front tire was completely destroyed, back it did not change much. I had no traction summed Bradl.
Afterwards we heard from a harder setup by Bautista.
The tire problems that have already announced in the training at Stefan, were soon also in the race, he had simply not a good feeling with the tires. But other riders had big problems to tire towards end of the race, so Stefan could still snatch the private Ducatis of Laverty, Redding and Pirro.
It comes in 14 days more in Assen / Netherlands and Stefan is the time until then serve to digest these GP and to gain a little distance from the tragic events.
