[@BernardRoman27]

very few riders like Bradl can admit jealousy and being destroyed by another rider takes maturity and time to admit that. incredible.

[@Proranis]

yeah hes a great fucking dude

[@talerngngamkajornwiwat5635]

This guy is actually another kind of legend!!! he has been shadowed by Marc who is from another planetary dimension. It's not an easy job to stay focus and develop MotoGP bike for HRC. I think most of us like him.

[@ilung2839]

It was incredible documentation knowing other side from the rider, we need more like this 👏✊👍🔥

[@Leiva26]

Completamente de acuerdo 👍

[@AlexanyanV1]

Very genuine and humble guy. Class act. 👍

[@iamrosakd1341]

Great insight of what he'd been through. We usually don't respect enough the effort of a test rider. Thanks Stefan. He seems like a nice guy, he just do not get the exposure. Well done team, thanks for this.

[@sr50ac]

🇩🇪 Germany is proud of you!!!

[@lukechanger]

One of the nicest guys you'll meet in the MotoGP Paddock! Absolute Legend!

[@mistermurphy9584]

Respekt Stefan!! Jeder Honda Fan in Deutschland kann stolz auf Dich sein..👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️ Viele Grüße aus München

[@Lauscher_lul]

Der wohnt bei mir im Dorf, ist hier so was wie ne legende schon.

[@stevebigansky9372]

You're a class act Stefan exactly like your father- I had the privilege of watching him in a few incredible battles at Laguna Seca on those HB Factory Hondas - and even though you're not a full time Moto GP rider anymore, you can take fact that Honda could have chosen ANYONE as their test rider, but they chose YOU for a multitude of obvious reasons- and Congrats on the well deserved points earned at Misano-

[@Sam-zy5ck]

Wow....this one was so good. Full respect to Stefan for his honesty

[@aliridwan10]

MotoGP media team need to learn how to make a good documentary video from you guys! Salute with Stefan Bradl's honesty, I can't imagine myself being in his position got beaten by younger rider than you, it must be really hard.

[@justinnaidoo4582]

What a genuine guy. It was a privilege to hear his story. Would be awesome to know everyone's story in paddock behind the scene.

[@sennahoj97]

Stefan verdient es diesen Job zu haben, mehr als jeder andere!

[@thumperjdm]

What a great video. I've always liked Bradl since he entered GP. I'd hoped he'd do better in the GP class, but it just wasn't meant to be. I'm glad to see he's still a valued part of the HRC team.

[@rodshephard3837]

A wonderfully honest and heartfelt interview from a humble human being....bravo Stefan.....

[@davidelmishli3794]

Wow... just amazing. The ability to talk so openly about the past and the rivalry just shows that he is a great person.

[@lightningllama]

What a beautiful documentary, thank you for this

[@nodtripRS]

So enjoyed listening too Stefan, was a breath of fresh air with how he spoke from the heart. Many people would love the legacy he's got, 2011 world champion in Moto 2 an now a test rider of honda an Moto GP.

[@PrinzKaltbluth]

Stefan ist mein Held! Als Rennfahrer, als Teil des HRC Teams und als Mensch. Besonders wertvoll finde ich sein Engagement für den Nachwuchs 👍🏼 Auch schätze ich seine Mitwirkung bei Servus TV. Die besonderen Einblicke und menschlichen Emotionen, dafür Danke! Ich wünsche Ihm noch viele Erfolge in seiner Arbeit mit HRC.

[@XOBlizzard82]

Danke das ihr Stefan seine Arbeit mit dieser super Dokumentation würdigt und dir Stefan noch viel Spaß auf deinem Weg.

[@ohneilgang9469]

Love Bradl! He was always a huge threat on the honda!

[@scottmurray2890]

Brilliant series and loads of respect for Bradl, 🙌

[@obamabigears734]

Great to see the honesty from the riders in these videos

[@nathanmiller5209]

love this series, Thank You HRC.

[@th3frs3h]

Excellent video. Thank you for letting us see this side of Stefan and how much of an asset he is to the team. I have a lot mote respect for him now.

[@MrEiswerk]

Du bist ein ganz ganz feiner Kerl Stefan! Chapeau... 🙏 Bleib so wie du bist!

[@kw2265]

Sehr gut Stefan!! Mach weiter so und bleib so wie du bist, freundlich, lustig und schnell... Grüße aus Rengschburg...Servus...👋

[@nabeelkhan2742]

I liked him and still remember the laguna seca race in 2013 when he was leading the race until Marc overtook him and he finished 2nd. If he could've gotten few more podiums and regular top 5 finished , he would have had a good career.

[@heke8833]

What a fucking great video. Amazing. Keep it up with the work Stefan, we need your wise and talent to rise up this team again.

[@zalbajeocirotsac6480]

He's such an honest,,genuine and humble guy,,

[@redline_limiter]

What a great guy he is. Serious minded, honest, dedicated. Talented. Honda are lucky to have him

[@terong2174]

Terima kasih Stefan, tetap semangat, kamu adalah salah satu bagian penting dalam Team Repsol Honda

[@manojreddy5043]

Wow! Brilliant one! Loving these short documentaries. Knowing about riders, what's happening behind the screens is always engaging. Thanks for the content HRC.

[@ricmech9128]

Amazing talent. Thank you for sharing his story.

[@nonameclem5435]

what an amazing video. So interesting. We don't think about test riders as much as we should. It was very nice also to approach the psychological aspect of competition and how it can affect your whole career. And nice to see the respect Marc has for the mentality needed to be a test rider. I will need backstage videos now !!

[@LongLiveEnduro]

How honest and bold....wow....Thanks

[@frank_ha84]

Very cool documentation of a great rider. Stefan 👍

[@yashamin5848]

This was incredible to watch

[@doppel-r9595]

Stefan is a good guy and fast too. The time will come again when all the HRC team's efforts will be rewarded and the great successes will come back, I'm sure of that. I'm a big Honda fan.

[@mustafid405]

Keep pushing my team, Repsol Honda👊🔥🔥🔥

[@greenchlorine]

Love ya Stefan ❤ What a fantastic episode. Thank you, team.

[@ennorockt]

Ein deutscher Weltmeister und sympathischer Typ. Fachkompetenz auf ServusTV. Ich hoffe wir sehen ihn noch öfter auf dem Track und treffen uns am Sachsenring. (:

[@akusbass]

Maravilloso! Gracias por hacer este vídeo!

[@torangclayruz4098]

Bradl was a Moto2 world champion, he got it when at the same time, Marc was in strong form to compete. Sometimes it's so weird to see him takes apart as a regular test rider for long years, instead of motogp rider. But at least, he has got a good job under the big Honda Factory.

[@El_turco82]

Great Docu,is very hard to see stefan like this,i would love to see him als rider and not test rider because he deserves it

[@ruefa7614]

he's honest guy... respect stefan...

[@Byley-e7h]

Please do more documentaries like these 👍👍

[@raynando9378]

This is very very good documentary. We need more like this. Dorna must learn a lot from hrc how to market its product.

[@uweclaunitzer7170]

Don't worry Stefan, you simply had the misfortune to come across the best MotoGP rider we have seen to date. Nice to see also Marc giving some real credit and appreciation for his work as a test rider

[@jordanaria2035]

Respect for Stefan🙏

[@TheDanielJauch]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing…

[@cybobseven2762]

Great Vid!! THX to Stefan and HRC!! 🏁😎

[@donnay-ho9pv]

[@griffintubey]

Thanks Stefan

[@rageman32]

STEFAN BRADL MASTERCLASS

[@alrightdave6135]

Very interesting insight in stefan

[@pomplardpanam8591]

Respect bro

[@lukasgdr7427]

Der Kampf in der Moto 2 Bradl gegen Marc war sehr spannend 🎉🎉

[@voltickmotor]

For sure he has got a great talent. No one has the talent Marc has got but, for sure, Bradl is a top rider. No doubt. Pd: I remember wearing his polo shirt in Jerez WSBK 2017 and then discovered he was injuried, so I couldn’t get a sign from him

[@TheAndemand]

Respect! 😊

[@abahgiza9741]

obviously HRC honored stefan so much as a test rider, they dont even bother to find someone racing while marc is gone.

[@CalixtoErico]

Exceptional.

[@route4614]

In the back of his mind he knows his title was a lucky one!

[@cbr1928]

fielen dank :D thank you

[@reeaction4132]

💓💓💓

[@warior1195]

100 laps per day is insane

[@armindoferreira3953]

Surrounded by a world so competitive and full arrogance, hearing Bradl is like a fresh breeze of nobility. Not everyone can be a test rider...

[@LoneWolf-wl3he]

He should be thinking like a world champion and not think of anyone else... Losing your confidence within yourself will always affect your riding... If you have a chance to ride always switch your mind as a champion and not a test rider.

[@andrewbozhozr]

I still have LCR Bradl T shirt :)

[@matakamera1676]

We love honda my heart INDONESIA ,, SALAM I have a prayer for mm93 and all crew and friends everyone will ride a moto ( in the name of the most merciful and merciful God ),,, may God grant it,,, surely your heart will be calm amen

[@Neonitas]

its a shame when we are looking, what HONDA position is now ! ...and its hurts..i am a great honda fan, i drive honda over 12 years....

[@ChaseN194]

This is Honda way of saying "we know our bike sucks but stop picking on him"

[@fraanzfan8158]

I come from Deutschland beste Übersetzung 😂

[@Neonitas]

and we can bring a really good test driver back....Italian........46.......ROSSI

[@hardyanpajero69]

[@teukurajabaguspratamaputra6077]

Spoerty ++

[@billgates3699]

COTA 2023: only 14 riders finished the race. All you had to do was not be last to score any points. Bradl: DNF

[@kosiknosik9645]

Nice guy. Honest and true. Very unGerman.

[@alengreen589]

Stefan, you talk and talk and talk again to the engineers in the box, but unfortunately they not listened to you for 2 years in Japan, to build there the right parts to have a competitive Bike. And now MM93 is back and all the engineers in Japan listen him.

[@willy.1369]

Honestly speaking, Stefan, it wasn't Marc who destroyed you, it was Spanish politics in MotoGP. Until now I still believe that you were the one who supposed to fill in for the vacated seat by Casey at Respol back in 2013, and that Marc should be in a satelite team for his debut year, filling for LCR. If that scenario happened 9 years ago, but he still beat you, then you can say that he destroyed you. But he clearly had the advantage of being a factory rider in his first season, so don't make yourself sounds so desperate and worthless, mate. You're just simply being in the wrong time, at the wrong place. You're quick and talented, mate, that 2011 title didn't come just out of luck, it's because you are talented. 💯

Now I understand, u cannot ask for win a test rider, he its not there to win races…
