The long summer break since the previous round in Hungary has almost come to an end, and both the Kawasaki WorldSBK team and Kawasaki WorldSSP Team are preparing to take to the track at Motorland for what will be important test sessions ahead of the resumption of competitive points’ scoring action. Each class will hold its ninth round of the season at the Nevers Magny-Cours circuit in France, between 5 and 7 September.
The two days of Motorland testing, from 25 to 26 August, will feature WorldSBK rider Garrett Gerloff while WorldSSP rider Jeremy Alcoba will ride for one day.
The American rider's goal is to refine the setup of his Ninja ZX-10RR while also confirming his full recovery after a crash in the first race, held on Saturday at the Balaton Park Circuit in Hungary, which left him unfit for the two subsequent races on Sunday and forced him to interrupt a series of very positive results.
Jeremy Alcoba also wants to enhance the setup of his Ninja ZX-6R 636 and improve his feeling with it, to confirm his position at the top of the class and attack the podium in the two French races.
Manuel, Puccetti, Team Principal, stated: “We're happy to resume our track activity, and to do so at Motorland Aragon, with two days of testing that will be very important. We have many new things to test for both our WorldSBK and WorldSSP machines. Garrett has fully recovered from his accident at Balaton Park and can't wait to get back on the bike to resume working with his team. Jeremy will test for just one day, during which - with the help of his technical staff - he will try to improve the setup of his Ninja. Each rider’s goal is to prepare in the best way possible for the next round at Magny-Cours, which will take place in less than two weeks.”
