The Swiss driver, sharing the wheel of the JMW Racing with Andrea Bertolini, has been again among the front runners, but as happened at the Silverstone seasonopener shortened because of heavy rain, a hiccup has deprived Joël’s outfit to finish on the podium.

Onorevole 19° Posto Di Pradita A Le Mans
Alvaro Bautista produced a determined ride to secure sixth place on a slippery wet track at Le Mans. The Spanish rider's lap times were as good as anybody on track in the early stages of the race so a better start might have seen him in the battle for the podium positions but a top six finish is still a positive base to build from in the next round at Mugello. There was disappointment for Bryan Staring, who crashed out and missed a valuable opportunity to gather experience of racing his CRT bike in the wet.

Murphy Prototypes Free Practice Report - Round 2 ELMS, Imola, 17 May 2013
Mark Patterson, Driver, #18
“Imola is such a demanding track; it’s cool but scary and takes a bit of effort and courage on your first drive around it! We did not need to make any significant adjustments to the car today and the carbon brakes, wow - when heated up the car can stop on a six-pence, it’s beautiful. First practice this morning was in the wet and tricky. It started to dry out toward the end, but second practice was perfectly dry. We got some good runs in and my time was improving lap by lap. Brendon got us in to P2 and we are quietly confident for tomorrow. I need to find two seconds a lap and am hoping that during the race I’ll be able to do that.”
