Jacobsen starts off on the right foot in Qatar

The last round of the 2016 FIM Supersport World Championship began today under the floodlights of the #losail International Circuit in #qatar, with Honda #worldssp Team’s PJ Jacobsen able to secure fourth place in the combined times of the first two free practice sessions. Therefore, the 23-year-old American rider has qualified directly to tomorrow’s Superpole 2, which will get underway at 18:55 local time (GMT +3).

After finishing second in the first free practice session, Jacobsen worked hard with his crew to further improve the set-up of his Honda CBR600RR for the 5.38 km long Qatari circuit; it was not until the final ten minutes of FP2, though, that the New York native was able to improve on his FP1 lap-time to a final 2’02.918s, which temporarily elevated him to the top of the timesheets.
