Fourth place on the grid for Jacobsen after Dutch WorldSSP Superpole

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Patrick ‘PJ’ Jacobsen will start the fourth-round World Supersport race at Assen’s TT Circuit from the second row on the grid, as the #honda #worldssp rider finished today’s Superpole in fourth position. This is the third consecutive time that the 22-year-old has claimed the front slot of row 2, as he did the same both in Thailand and Spain.

Like all the other riders who were automatically seeded to Superpole 2 after yesterday’s two free practice sessions, Jacobsen had to quickly adapt to the dry conditions of the 4.542km track, which he had not encountered before during this weekend. Lap after lap, the American built up great speed aboard his #honda #cbr600rr and, in his final attempt before the chequered flag, he logged a 1’40.165 that allowed him to retake that fourth place he had lost moments before. Pole position and second were in fact taken by the two riders who had to make their way through the first Superpole session.

The fourth race of the 2016 FIM Supersport World Championship is scheduled to commence tomorrow at 11:20 local time (GMT+2).
