Dumas tops FP2, is fastest overall heading into qualifying at Calabogie
Calabogie, ON – Alex Dumas announced his arrival at the Canadian Superbike Championship finale in stellar fashion on Friday, leading the second practice session and setting the overall fastest time of the morning to pace the Pro Superbike field at Calabogie Motorsports Park.
The championship leader settled for second-fastest in FP1 as title rival Ben Young topped the charts with a time of 2:02.484, but Dumas obliterated those times in FP2, nearly setting a new lap record with a time of 2:00.640.
The Liqui Moly MPG/FAST School Suzuki teenager can capture his first ever YUASA Battery Pole Position award this afternoon, an honour Young has snatched from him both times already this season.
Conditions in the qualifying session will be important to watch, as track temperatures are expected to be much warmer than in the morning practices. This could give Dumas a realistic shot at breaking Jodi Christie’s lap record from 2015, though it could also play into the hands of one of his rivals.
The times were already noticeably quicker in the second session across the board, with the top-five in FP2 representing the top-five overall heading into qualifying. Young managed to keep himself within striking distance of Dumas, finishing 0.615 seconds shy of the top spot aboard his Van Dolder’s Home Team BMW.
After struggling somewhat in FP1, reigning champion Jordan Szoke posted a much better time in FP2, wrapping up the morning third-fastest for the Canada General Warranty Kawasaki team but still a distant 1.557 seconds off Dumas.
Szoke dealt with a number of mechanical issues in the first round at Calabogie but got back on track in a big way in round two at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, winning two of the three races to carry much-needed momentum into the doubleheader finale.
The biggest surprise of FP2 was veteran Michael Leon, who made up over three seconds on his FP1 time to post a 2:02.474 in the second session. The Royal Distributing BMW rider had his second round derailed by an unfortunate crash in race one but mostly impressed last time out in Calabogie, as he hopes to regain that form to end the year.
Completing the top five times overall was double-duty Turcotte Performance Kawasaki rider Sebastian Tremblay, who will bring his ZX-10R superbike to Calabogie for the first time while also balancing a hopeful championship in the Liqui Moly Pro Sport Bike class aboard a ZX-6R.
Tremblay made up a full second in FP2 as he comes to grips with the bigger machine around this circuit, though he remains still 2.113 seconds away from his first career pole position this afternoon.
Notably missing from the overall timesheets is Trevor Daley, who looked poised for a strong start after ending FP1 in third but was unable to carry that momentum into FP2 aboard his OneSpeed Suzuki.
A welcome sight in the overall top-eight was rookie Samuel Guerin, who has had a disastrous 2021 campaign after generating plenty of interest prior to the season for the EFC Group BMW team. Three DNF’s in four races have ruined the Quebec City native’s season, but his pace remains competitive as he looks to end his season on a high note.
Qualifying for the Pro Superbike feature class is scheduled to get underway at roughly 1:45 pm ET, with Dumas looking to rob Young of a third-consecutive pole position prior to their season-ending doubleheader battle tomorrow.

MotoE: Enel Continuing As Title Sponsor Through 2024
Enel to partner with the FIM Enel MotoE™ World Cup for another three seasons
Enel continues as sponsor of the Cup and Sustainable Power Partner of MotoGP™, while Enel X is Official Smart Charging Partner of the FIM Enel MotoE™ World Cup until 2024
Friday, 17 September 2021
Enel and MotoE™ have renewed their synergy for another three seasons, consolidating a successful partnership which began with the inception of the FIM Enel MotoE™ World Cup in 2019. Dorna Sports is delighted to confirm the Enel Group will continue in its role as title sponsor of the Cup, as well as Sustainable Power Partner of the FIM MotoGP™ World Championship.
Enel X, the Enel Group’s global business line, offering services that accelerate innovation, will be the Official Smart Charging Partner of the FIM Enel MotoE™ World Cup until 2024 by providing smart, tailored electric bike charging solutions. The agreement also envisages that the partnership may extend through the 2025-2026 seasons.
Francesco Venturini, Enel X CEO: “We are very pleased to announce the extension of the partnership with the FIM Enel MotoE World Cup, a further step that underlines how important it is for Enel X to continue to develop innovative technologies for eMotorsports. The challenge is to combine the adrenaline of the track with the sustainability concept behind the event and right from the beginning of the collaboration with MotoE we have understood that the championship represents the perfect environment in which to implement cutting-edge charging solutions that can be brought into everyday mobility, concretely contributing to the electrification of transport. Continuing along this path in the coming years is, therefore, the natural consequence of the good things we have done so far.”
Marc Saurina, Senior Director of Global Commercial Partnerships at Dorna Sports: “We’re delighted to continue our partnership with Enel as both title sponsor for MotoE and Sustainable Power Partner of MotoGP. Since MotoE began in 2019, we’ve gone from strength to strength creating a competitive, exciting and important series that is true to its values and those of close, competitive racing – making a perfect match with Dorna’s ESG strategy. We’re looking forward to continuing our partnership to take MotoE to even greater heights, and working together on sustainability as Enel continues to play a vital role in the whole paddock as our Sustainable Power Partner.”
In the Misano Adriatico leg, as in all the other rounds of the Cup, Enel X is providing the JuiceRoll Race Edition, the new charging infrastructure specifically designed and developed for MotoE, which has been used right from the first race of the current season, on May 2nd, 2021 in Jerez de la Frontera (Spain). The JuiceRoll Race Edition is an innovative charger with internal storage and two interconnected units, namely a semi-mobile unit (SMU) and a mobile unit (MU), which can charge an electric motorcycle in about 40 minutes. The SMU supplies energy to recharge the electric motorcycles with the support of a system of solar panels, working directly in the area of the ePaddock; the MU on the other hand allows the motorcycles to be recharged while in the pit lane and on the starting grid. Specifically, the MU allows for a final seven-minute charge on the starting grid, allowing the bikes to cover more distance than in previous seasons. During the charging session in the ePaddock, the JuiceRoll Race Edition can supply bikes with up to 1 MW spread over 20 chargers, requiring only 100 kW from solar panels and the grid under normal operating conditions, thanks to the integrated storage unit.
