The traditional post-race debrief press release from Bridgestone. In this press release, Bridgestone's assistant director Hirohide Hamashima explains why they believe the crashes happened on Friday morning:
German Grand Prix debrief with Hirohide Hamashima
Round 9: German GP – Post-race debrief
Sachsenring Circuit, Tuesday 19 July 2011
Bridgestone slick compounds available: Front: Hard, Extra Hard. Rear (asymmetric): Medium, Hard
As the rain stayed away until minutes after the chequered flag, when a light shower fell, the German Grand Prix became only the third race of the season at which MotoGP track time has not been interrupted by rain. Conditions started cold on Friday morning but warmed throughout the weekend, leading to a new lap record and a new total race time record being set on Sunday by race-winner Dani Pedrosa in just his second race since returning from injury. The race itself was fantastic with Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo and Casey Stoner locked in a three-way battle for the lead, ahead of a three-way battle for fourth and a four-way battle for seventh, keeping the 101,309 race-day fans thoroughly entertained.
