Unfortunately the second free practice session started everything else as optimal, because Stefan rushed immediately to start the 45 ongoing session in the out lap with the used rear tire of the morning. Nothing happened Stefan fortunately, he brought promptly in his motor home is to put on a new leathers. Stefan crashed into turn 12, the rear tires felt, so Stefan, as he would not have been heated up. But that was not the cause, but the sensor for the traction control was broken. Therefore, the TC has not worked. Usually there is a warning light on the dashboard, but Stefan saw nothing.
He had a slide and thought to be able to catch him this was not possible however.
Stefan went after about 15 min with the #2 bike again on the piste hard with a new rear tire on time hunting to machine, but the #2 had not all setup changes the #1 motorcycle. In the TV was clearly seeing the Yamaha when braking was as unstable and that she are strongly pumped when accelerating on the rear. It was no stability on brake and the back it was too soft. With more over running at the front, they wanted to achieve more stability on the brake but the crash all nullified. At the #2, a lot had been changed, for example, a longer swingarm and a small change to the fork.
But also it was not much, once again the traction control was too aggressive. It was added that the grip of the track in the afternoon was much worse than at morning. All the drivers had problems to improve the time from FP1.
The configuration said such problems had not had the test in November, because it was cold. Today, it had 28° air temperature and 43 ° asphalt. But the conditions are the same for all.
Thus, Stefan could turn unfortunately only 9 complete rounds, making voting work not easier. Of course, Stefan fell also places this and is now available in the timesheet on 20th place with 1.5 seconds behind the fastest again Jorge Lorenzo.
You should also mention Stefan got a thick cold, a gift of the air conditioning of the flight back from Argentina to Germany.
