Bradl’s career as a WorldSBK rider was short and difficulꦬt as he struggled aboard a Honda machine that was woefully uncompetitive during the 2017 campaign. 

Starting off the season as team-mate to the late 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nicky Hayden, a former MotoGP champion in 2006, Bradl finished the sea꧋son 14th in the world championship before going on to sign a deal with Repsol Honda in 2019 to become its official MotoGP test rider.

Whilst in his role as Repsol Honda test rider Bradl has also continued to ride Superbikes during private tests, which meant sharing the track with current WorldSBK champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista in 2020 and 🌃2021, ౠbefore the Spaniard returned to Ducati.

And after watching the success Bautista enjoyed in 2022, Bradl was asked whether a🌸 return to Superbike racing was appealing. 

"I sometimes talked to Alvaro about it, because we sometimes shared the track with the superbikes in private tests when he was still with Honda in the SBK 2020 and 2021," Bradl told . "During this time he was not so happy. But the return to Ducati has done him g✨ood. What he did in 2022 is remarkable."

"The Superbikes, th💜at's not my categ🎶ory, especially after everything I experienced in my Superbike season with Honda in 2017," added the German. 

"Sure, if I tried the Du🌼cati I might change my mind. But currently ꦛI see myself as a Honda test rider in MotoGP. But if Honda came up with a new, powerful superbike, I would definitely take a look at it."

Team HRC made big improvements during the 2022 campaign with rookies 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Iker Lecuona and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Xavi Vierge, although Bradl’s experience with Honda wouldꦜ make him a very capable rider should a change or a different Honda ride be available.

However, Bradl feels Honda is in a good position with its current WorldSBK riders, al🗹though he remains on alert should an opportunity arise. 

"I've been with HRC for almost ten years now. So I know how things work at this company,"&n🍎bsp;stated Bradl. "If something happens, I'm close to the action. I am also ready for other tasks🐬. 

"In 2022, participation in the Suzuka ♐8h race did not work out due to the clash of dates. But the request was always there. 

"🐷Also, Honda are well catered for with the 🔥Superbike riders. But you never know..."
