According to the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team, Brad pulled away from the 13th position off the grid on race day, May 11.
'After the weather caused some uncertainty, they finally sped off the grid. Unfortunately, Brad crashed into turn 14 and then again shortly afterwards in turn one to end his day early,' they revealed.
Brad said that he did not have much to say about the race.
My race was a lot shorter than I would have liked. Very tricky to understand what tires we should have had at the beginning.
'We had wets, came in for slicks, and I thought things were going quite well, but into the last corner, there was a bit more water than I expected, and it just slipped away. I picked up, did my two long laps and was planning to come in, but it just washed in turn one. It was time to have been on the wets!' he stated.
Sometimes things do not work out.'
He apologised to his team because they deserved a good result after all their efforts lately, and that he would try again in Silverstone.
Brad is currently placed 14th in the World Championship standings and will compete again at the Tissot Grand Prix of the United Kingdom from May 23–25.
