The third round of WSBK takes place this weekend at Assen, in our Batavians friends, very beautiful circuit if it is. Cloudy and merdeux morning, the sky began to the beautiful the afternoon, which allowed to make some real lap times, with a nice perf by Ducati from Davide Giugliano, best time but went to the pile at the wake, nothing broken, a fairing surely but in a budget to compete for factory, it is peanuts.
Jonathan Rea, on the Honda, also did a beautiful second lap, and Tom Sykes Kawasaki official is three.
Loris Baz, the French on the other Kawa official is fifth time, before Suzuki Laverty, and then only the two Aprilia’s Guintoli and Melandri, eighth and ninth time which mean that there will be job.
EVO, a future single category for the WSBK, Canepa, still a Ducati, was the best time of the day of tryouts.
Okay, if you plan to ride in Holland this weekend, the weather is Crabby, if you forget the Ray Ban it does not necessarily matter but what protects the rain will be welcome.
