The 3rd round WSBK in Assen started from Free Practices as usual. Best time in the Supersport on the morning practice showed the local rider VD Mark. MV Agusta Reparto Corsa – YAKHNICH MOTORSPORT riders Jules Cluzel and Vladimir Leonov took 3rd and 7th places. During the second practice French rider could improve and showed the second time. But in Friday practices combined results Cluzel took 3rd position, Leonov – 13.

Jules Cluzel: “Today I felt not so comfortable on the bike. It’s not the same feelings what I had in Aragon. During the second practice we found some solutions and it got better. I caught cold so now I’m not in good condition. But every day I feel better. Today we understood we’re quite fast in dry but we should be ready for any weather conditions. Tomorrow we’ll see”.

Redo Assirelli (Leonov's cheif-mechanic): “It’s difficult, the weather was changing all day. There was 13 degrees in the morning, during the second practice – 19. Today we worked mainly with the suspension. We tried different settings for fork and shock-absorber. It’s important to try different variants with settings as the race can be held in rain”.
