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.
