Stefan Bradl is adamant r💞ider error was not to blame after the LCR Honda rider crashed out of sixth place in Qatar.

Bradl had lost fifth position to Yama♏ha's Valentino Rossi when he lost the front at Turn 7 on the eighth lap.

Although the German rider had lost confidence to push the front hard, he was at a loss to explain toღ caus♐e of his fall.

"Since the beginning of the race I was not enough confident with the front tyre feel♍ing and I felt the same issue we suffered on Friday; probably even worse.

"We felt not so bad in the warm-up session as I waꩲs lapping consistently fast," said Brad♚l.

"Unfortunately in the race I could not push o🌌ver the front and could not do anything to improve my pace.

"Rossi passed me and I was not capableꦺ to follow him because of this front issue as I was losing the front in ever🎐y corner.

"Honestly I have not made any mist🧸ake so I can not explain exactly why I crashed," he added.

"W🐭e will investigate checking the data together with my technicians."
