25 - 27 April 2014

In the Dutch Assen was held the third round of the World Championship WSBK. In the Supersport class the French rider of the Russian team MV Agusta Reparto Corse - YAKHNICH MOTORSPORT Jules Cluzel starting from the fourth position  in a bitter struggle won the third place. Vladimir Leonov, another rider of the Russian team finished the race on the 12th position.

Jules Cluzel: “It was difficult and very long race. I had not so good start and fight for 7-8 position. The first part of the race was really difficult. The rear wheel slid all the time but I managed with it. Today we were not the best but I believed that we could finish in TOP-4. Today Zanetti had a great race, he attacked a lot but I could overtake him. I’m happy the race went this way. We must keep working to make our bike stronger for the next race”.

Vladimir Leonov: “The start wasn’t successful and I’ve lost a lot of positions. I tried to return the lost inside the dense group. I was overtaken on the straight in my turn I counterattacked in corners. Two times I was pushed from the track. At one point one of my rivals hit me entering the left turn so the exhaust was bent and also my suit was breaking. But I could stay on the bike. It was hard but I could improved and reached 12th position.
