Stefan Bradl and the HRC Test Team laid the foundations of their second wildcard appearance of the 2023 season. Setting a best time of 1’31.715, the former Moto2 World Champion ended Friday as the second fastest Honda and only two tenths from the top ten.

Tomorrow’s action will resume with a practice session before Bradl battles it out for a potential spot in Q2 along with the other riders.

“It’s good to be back on track with the rest of the MotoGP grid to compare the work that we have been doing with the test team. We have had a busy few weeks in Misano, in Japan and now here for the race. Overall, the first day in Misano has been positive, there’s some areas we need to improve and we missed just a little bit in the time attack. We’ve started well and now we need to keep working through our schedule.”
