BRADL ENJOYS HIS FIRST RIDE AT LAGUNA SECA RACE TRACK LCR racer Stefan Bradl is showing his determination and the will to learn the MotoGP dynamics coping with a very intense period of track time. Before the Catalan GP and the extra day of testing held yesterday, the 2011 Moto2 world champion was at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California, to learn the 11-turn, 2.238-mile circuit for July’s Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix. So Bradl saddled up a brand new 2012 CBR1000RR in HRC colors kindly provided by Honda America approaching the “rollercoaster” circuit for the first time in his racing career. Stefan: “Moto2 and Moto3 don’t race at Mazda Raceway so we thought it was a good idea to have a first taste of this tight and twisty circuit. I just knew the track from PlayStation and we came to prepare for MotoGP, and I think we will be more ready for it. Thanks to Honda America I had the chance to ride this new CBR1000RR on the only track that I don’t know. It is downhill, and there are lots of blind corners. It is really fun. I especially like the banked corners. It is a big challenge to go fast especially from Turn 8 to Turn 11, but the whole circuit is tough. There is really no spot to rest or a long straight”. Bradl and his crew will be back on track tomorrow for one day of testing at Aragon circuit.
