PJ Jacobsen leaves it late to take top spot on first day of action

After two 45-minute practice sessions under the Spanish sunshine, PJ Jacobsen (Intermoto Ponyxpres Kawasaki) heads the World Supersport field into tomorrow at the head of the times, courtesy of his MotorLandAragon lap of 1.54.413s. The 21-year-old from Montgomery, New York, left it until the final two minutes to displace Kenan Sofuoglu (Kawasaki Puccetti Racing), who was the quickest in the morning’s session.

Jacobsen, who improved his FP1 time by 1.5s, heads into tomorrow’s last free practice session with a slender advantage over Sofuoglu (+0.272s) and Jules Cluzel, (+0.302s) third aboard his MV Agusta Reparto Corse machine.

Current World Championship leader Ratthapark Wilairot powered his CORE Motorsport Thailand Honda to fourth overall on the combined classification (+0.701s) ahead of Gino Rea (CIA Insurance Landlords Honda) and Kyle Smith (Pata Honda World Supersport Team), who overcame a technical issue mid-session to move into sixth with his last flying lap of the session (+1.205s).

Roberto Rolfo (Team Lorini Honda), Riccardo Russo (CIA Landlords Insurance Honda), Lorenzo Zanetti (MV Agusta Reparto Corse) and Lucas Mahias (Intermoto Ponyexpres Kawasaki) completed the top-10.

WSS MotorLand Aragon – Combined times Free Practice 1 and 2
1 – PJ Jacobsen Intermoto Ponyexpres Kawasaki 1’54.413
2 – Kenan Sofuoglu Kawasaki Puccetti Racing +0.272
3 – Jules Cluzel MV Agusta Reparto Corse +0.302
