WSBK Supersport Magny-Cours Warm Up: Federico Caricasulo and Jules Cluzel in a hot session!

Unlike the first Superbike race, that of the Supersport allowed the ranking to be tightened du World Championship thanks to the victory of Lorenzo Baldassarri (Evan Bros. WorldSSP Yamaha Team) in front Glenn Van Straalen (EAB Racing Team), the leader of the general classification Dominique Aegerter (Ten Kate Racing Yamaha) settling for 3rd place.

As a result, only 5 small points separate the Italian from the Swiss and it is impossible to predict who will come out on top this weekend in Nièvre...

In the meantime, for this 15-minute warm-up, the weather has significantly improved since the start of the weekend and it is now a clear sky overlooking the French circuit, although with cool temperatures far from what we expect for race 2: 14° in the air, 18° on the ground.

 

 

When the red lights go out, Adrian Huertas (MTM Kawasaki) sets the first benchmark in 1'42.756 then 1'42.050 ahead Federico Caricasulo (Althea Racing) before handing over command to Dominique Aegerter before Jules cluzel et Valentine Debise, two of the three GMT94 Yamaha riders for this day.

 

 

The session is stopped mid-session because of the motorcycle Leonardo Taccini (Ten Kate Racing Yamaha) on fire at the side of the track.

 

 

Very quickly, the action gets back on track and Can Öncü (Kawasaki Puccetti Racing) positioned itself 2nd before Federico Caricasulo is the fastest in 1'41.471.

Things don't stop there and in the last lap Can Öncü (Kawasaki Puccetti Racing) improved to 1'41.379 before being beaten by Jules cluzel in 1'41.136!

But in extremis, Federico Caricasulo snatches the best time, in 1'41.109.
