MUFF ON PROVISIONAL POLE!
Swiss rider Patric Muff took provisional pole after first
qualifying at Magny-Cours today. Muff’s lap of 1:46.449,
was over a second ahead of his nearest challenger, Emeric
Jonchiere, with Ismael Ortega third and Simone Saltarelli
fourth.
Patric Muff - 1st. 1:46.449
I am happy to be the fastest so far, especially because I
do not like this track very much. I do not like it so much
because I have crashed four times here before, but maybe this
time will be different. The bike feels good generally, though
I have some problems with sliding a lot and also exiting the
slow corners. When I try and get on the gas getting out of
the slow turns, the throttle doesn’t seem to want to
work smoothly and is a bit hesitant. We will have a look at
the electronics tonight and see if we can make some improvements
to that and the suspension to give me better grip. We will
also change the rear sprocket because the gearing is too long
for me at the moment. I’m hoping for a good qualifying
tomorrow and then finishing this great Suzuki Cup series with
a good result.
