Honda WorldSBK - Great start to Aragon weekend for the Honda WorldSBK Team

Press release available only in original language. 

The #honda #worldsbk Team has completed its first day at the third round of the 2016 FIM Superbike World Championship, which is currently underway at the MotorLand Aragón circuit in Spain. Both Michael van der Mark and Nicky Hayden successfully qualified to tomorrow’s Superpole 2, after claiming third and seventh, respectively, in the combined classification of today’s two free practice sessions.

The day started really well for the Dutch-based squad, with Hayden and van der Mark finishing the first session, which was held under cooler conditions, in second and third place. As the afternoon approached, conditions got significantly warmer, with track temperatures rising from 17°C to 40°C. This change necessitated a considerable amount of extra work on the setup of the #honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP machines.

After testing some changes at the front of his bike, van der Mark was able to elevate himself to third place in the latter stages of free practice 2, logging a 1’51.337. Following a small crash at turn 14 in the early minutes of the session, Hayden and the team worked hard to make up for time lost and were able to salvage a seventh place finish on a final attempt before the chequered flag.

The team will have 15 more minutes of free practice tomorrow morning before Superpole 2 and race 1, scheduled at 10:55 and 13:00 local time (GMT+2), respectively.
