There was no miracle for one Sylvain Guintoli who barely replaces the injured Alex Rins as official rider on the Suzuki GSX-RR. The Frenchman, now accustomed to Superbike, had to quickly get back into the swing of things and it is from the last position that he will start tomorrow for his Grand Prix of France. Certainly, but its much more seasoned leader Iannone is in seventeenth place.
As a result, the performance of the former 2014 Superbike world champion is not so bad, even if we regret a fall during a session. For Sylvain, the main thing will be to accumulate kilometers tomorrow, in the race, with a bike that he will find again in Italy. For Catalonia which will follow, it will be less obvious, alex rins already promising his return.
« I was still very busy during this day » comments the third Frenchman in the running after Johann zarco et Loris Baz. « This morning we had mixed conditions and fairly low track temperatures, while this afternoon it was completely dry. I had to adapt quickly to find the right rhythm ».
« When we look at the ranking, we have to admit that my place is not fantastic. But it's when you study the times that you see that I'm not that far away. I just need some driving time. I hope to do better tomorrow in warm-up and that we will have a positive race ". That's all the bad we wish him.
