Among the 28 World Supersport riders, only Jules Cluzel (GMT94 Yamaha) will defend the tricolor with a view to snatching the intermediate category title.

From the top of his 20 victories, 53 podiums and 21 pole positions, the ex-Grand Prix driver is the most experienced in a field whose sizes are called Federico Caricasulo, his teammate, but also Raffaele De Rosa (Kawasaki, Orelac Racing VerdNatura), Dominique Aegerter (Ten Kate Racing Yamaha), Randy Krummenacher (Yamaha, EAB Racing Team), Niki Tuuli (MV Agusta Corse Clienti) and Steven Odendaal (Yamaha, Evan Bros. WorldSSP Team).

 

 

These are also the latter, Steven Odendaal, who dominated the first minutes of this first Supersport session before Niki Tuuli imposes its MV Agusta at the top of the table.

Jules cluzel finished 4th, 6 tenths behind the detached duo.
