Kawasaki Puccetti Racing on track at Magny Cours and seeking more championship podiums

The tenth round of the Supersport world championship and the eleventh round of the Superbike world championship are taking place this weekend at the Nevers Magny-Cours circuit in France.
Built in 1960, the French track fell into disuse until the Nièvre regional council acquired it and relaunched it at international level. Many of the French track's corners take their names from other tracks, in that they reproduce the trajectories of turns present at other tracks. The circuit underwent renovation work during the 80s and since then only small-scale work has been carried out. From 1991, the circuit hosted 18 editions of the French F1 Grand Prix, while it is currently used for various motorsport events, including the races of the Superbike world championship.

Over the previous three rounds of the 600 championship, Kawasaki Puccetti #racing has scored three third place finishes with rider #lucasmahias, while #hikariokubo has had some difficulty with the set-up of his Kawasaki #zx6r, which has prevented him from expressing his full potential. With only three rounds of the championship still to run, Mahias lies fourth in the general standings with 98 points, followed by Okubo in fifth position with 82.

Hikari Okubo: "In recent races I haven't been able to score the results I wanted and so i can't wait to get on track at Magny Cours and get back to my usual level. Though I like the track, I've never achieved particularly strong results here and so this time I want to turn things around and aim for the podium, but we'll need to start well in practice and quickly identify a good setting for my bike". 

Eight podiums in the last six rounds. Turkish Puccetti #racing rider #toprakrazgatlioglu is undoubtedly on a roll, now a fixed presence among the top riders in the Superbike championship, also thanks to the competitiveness of his bike, prepared by the technicians on Manuel Puccetti's team. Last year, in his debut Superbike season, the young Turk scored points but this time he is looking to reach the podium and will be aiming particularly for the top step.

Toprak Razgatlioglu: "I like the Magny-Cours track. There are some hard braking points and a chicane before the straight that are tough, but I enjoy it and am often able to gain on my rivals. The trend in terms of results has been positive, but I'm still missing a race win, which is my main goal this season. I hope to immediately find the right set-up in order to give it my all and achieve the best possible results".
