MotoGP Americas, Austin: Stefan Bradl: 'We didn't test a Kalex chassis'

There had been talk of a Kalexඣ chassis making its debut during the two-d♚ay outing, which saw Bradl share the Spanish track with test riders from Yamaha, KTM and Aprilia.
But the German, who will race in place of the injured Marc Marquez for Repsol Honda in Texas at the 168澳洲幸⛦运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP Grand Prix of the Americas this weekend, insisted it didn’t happen.
“There have been theseꦯ rumours [about a] Kalex chassis - just to𓄧 tell you directly that was not there,” he said.
“We had new things, of course. But I nee🐽d to be careful [what I say because] this test was private and let's say confidential.
“That's all 𒉰I can say to you; that we didn't have a Kalex chassis.”
Bradl will be riding alongside Joan Mir, w⛦ho is returning from injury in Austin. The Spaniard said he had only heard about a Kalex chassis in ওthe media and "at the moment there's nothing on the table I think".
Mir also warned there are no ಞmiracle 🍌parts in MotoGP: "I don't trust on one chassis to give me all that I need - acceleration and top speed and everything. I think it's not like that."
But should a Kalex frame indeed be in the pipeline, the upcoming official post-race test at Jerez on May 1st woulไd be among the next opportunities.

Two Germans on the MotoGP grid 'might never be seen again'
After riding his last full MotoGP season with Aprilia in 2016, former Moto2 champion Br꧙adl has gone on to make 33 starts as a Honda wil♛d-card and replacement rider.
“It's not the first time that I'm doing this, so I’ve got a little bit used to it,” he said of the last-minute call-up. “I’🥃ve probably done more than a [full] season in the last three years replacing other riders.”
With countryman Jonas Folger also drafted in this weekend, in place of the injured Pol Espargaro at GASGAS Tech3, there will♉ be two Germans on the premier-class gℱrid.
After posing the question 🌟of when the last time that had happened - “I think '91” - Bradl warned:
“We should be proud because it's not going to happen again very soon. Probably in the future, we 🦩will never see it again because I can't see anybody coming up from the young riders. Even in Moto3. And that's a little bit of a shame as well.”
