Stefano Manzi Takes Third on Damp Opening Day in Jerez

Stefano Manzi Takes Third on Damp Opening Day in Jerez

Stefano Manzi (Ten Kate Racing Yamaha) was the quickest Yamaha on the first day of action at the Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto, closing Friday in third place overall after overnight rain left the track damp and practically unrideable in the morning.

FP1 saw just six riders set a time as the recent climatic conditions in the region left damp patches and unpredictable grip on the Spanish circuit. Valentin Debise (GMT94 Yamaha) and Nicholas Spinelli (VFT Racing) both gave their R6 bikes an outing, tentatively lapping to second and third in the morning.

The sun returned for the afternoon, allowing a straightforward FP2 for all the WorldSSP riders. Manzi completed the day in third overall after setting 19 laps around the track, with a best time of 1'44.012. Meanwhile, Debise kept up his great from to take fifth with a 1'44.123. Melvin van der Voort (Team SWPN) impressed on his debut in the class with eighth overall, while Jorge Navarro (Ten Kate Racing) rounded out the Top 10.
