MotoGp, Bradl burned by Honda: ‘The figure of a fool’

Honda’s fairing fails to dissipate heat: ‘This is unacceptable’

Honda’s black Sunday is summed up in one image: Pol Espargaró applying ice to his side and dipping his feet into a basin of freezing water. The RC213V’s fairing fails to dissipate heat, and on a hot day like Sachsenring it is a fatal flaw.

His teammate Stefan Bradl, Marc Marquez’s replacement, finished the race in pain, in 16th place: “It was terrible, unacceptable to have a fairing that can’t dissipate heat. The Honda is unrideable when the temperatures are so high. We need to find a solution as soon as possible. You feel stupid when in your home Grand Prix you look like the last fool. After two laps I couldn’t pull the brake because my fingers were burned, after ten laps my right foot was also burned,” the words reported by Gpone.
