Jerez hosted two days of private testing this week, with several riders from the Superbike and Supersport World Championships. However, Stefan Bradl was also present, testing the Honda MotoGP bike before the official tests of the premier class.
The German spoke about this test to the site SPEEDWEEK.com: ‘I have two bikes in the garage whose settings are so different that I am having difficulty finding a rhythm. This is a functional test. The bike came out of the box and is brand new. I don’t mean that we are running on the engine, but we have to go through different processes. The areas of responsibility in MotoGP are becoming more and more distributed because there are more and more of them. The story becomes extremely complex‘.
Honda has access to the concessions level with all the advantages of access: it can test with any rider on any circuit of the calendar, using a maximum of 260 tires. Benefits that it will have to take advantage of to improve the performance of the RC213V and return to the fight for top positions regularly.
