Eighth place and Superpole 2 for Jacobsen at the Lausitzring
PJ Jacobsen has claimed eight place in the combined times of today’s two free practice sessions for the Supersport World Championship at the Lausitzring in #germany, where the ninth round of the season is currently underway. The young American had a good start to the day by posting the second fastest time in the morning session on board his #honda CBR600RR 2 machine.
Free practice 2 was not as kind to last year’s World Supersport Vice Champion, who was unable to improve on his FP1 lap-time and dropped down to a final eighth place at the chequered flag. By finishing in the top 10, however, Jacobsen earned a spot in tomorrow’s 15-minute Superpole 2, which takes place tomorrow from 11:55.

8th / 1'42.184
Today didn’t go as planned and it was a bit of a struggle, really. We need to try something tomorrow in order to improve our performance, especially with the gearing. I think we have found the right one and FP3 will tell if we’re right. Looks like it’s going to rain tomorrow and if it does, we have a good wet setup ready for it. Overall it could have been worse, we’re in Superpole 2 and I’m now looking forward to tomorrow.
Technical Manager
It wasn’t as easy as we’d hoped today – especially after last month’s test. We found quite difficult to improve our morning’s lap-time and, in the end, few riders were able to do better than us. We are losing half a second in one single split but we know what to do now. If we manage to sort this one out, things will look a lot different tomorrow. PJ is normally quite good in qualifying and anything can happen, so we’ll see how it goes. We have a lot of work to do ahead of Superpole, but we’ll be ready.
