Following a strong two day test at Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, Stefan Bradl (Red Bull Honda World Superbike Team) is feeling confident he can produce some strong results in the Pirelli Riviera Di Rimini Round , now he has some data behind him.

Continuing to mourn the tragic loss of Nicky Hayden, the Dutch based squad are hopeful of improving their pace and continuing to do their best in Hayden’s honour. The 4.226km circuit is one which Bradl favours, with the varied layout a preferred one for the German rider. With some strong results sustained by the 27 year old in the past, he will be one to keep an eye on as the weekend progresses.

 “Misano is going to be a good race for us,” states an optimistic Bradl. “I hope the recent test will help us to be more competitive this weekend. It’s a track that I really like, because it’s a good mixture of fast corners and slow sectors. I hope with the data we were able to gather during the test, we will go some way in making a step forward and to move closer to the front of the field. This last month has taken its toll on all of us, but we will do our best to stay focused and do a good job.”
