WorldSSP – FP1, FP2
After having scored the best time in the morning FP1, thanks also to the excellent feeling with his MV Agusta F3 675, Patrick PJ Jacobsen went in search of the provisional pole in the second and last heat of the day. Despite the missed goal, the 23-years-old American rider ended up with a great 2nd time (1’39.122), less than 0.2s far from the top rider and World Champion Kenan Sofuoglu.
PJ’s teammate Alessandro Zaccone closed in 16th position, setting the 2nd time in the ESS category.
Leon Camier #2 WorldSBK – I can honestly say it was a positive session all in all. We suffered a few problems in the middle of the second session but we fixed it and we found a good pace on race tyres as well. I think there is still room for improvement and the plan for tomorrow is to try another setting to make the bike easier to ride when pushing for the lap time.
Patrick PJ Jacobsen #99 WorldSSP – Today we achieved a very good result. I got the first position in FP1 and I ended up 2nd in FP2 this afternoon, after trying several setting on the bike. In the afternoon we had to take a different direction with the bike setting and it seemed working really well, so let’s stay focused for the Tissot-Superpole2 tomorrow afternoon.
Alessandro Zaccone #61 ESS – Considering this is the first time I rode MV Agusta on this challenging track, I can only feel satisfied with the second position in ESS chart. Of course, we still have a lot of things to set and improve before being competitive in WorldSSP, but I’m sure tomorrow we will be able to further improve our pace.
