Oettl second in the race at Jerez! Sixth for Oncu
Following yesterday’s accident in the Supersport 300 race, in which Dean Berta Vinales tragically lost his life, the rest of Saturday’s #racing was cancelled, but the Spaniard’s family requested that today’s races go ahead in memory of Dean.
The #kawasakipuccettiracing riders were out on track for morning warm-up, during which they refined the set-up of their ZX-6R. During yesterday’s Superpole, #philippoettl scored his first Supersport pole position and therefore lined up on the front row of the grid today, while Can Oncu qualified ninth, thus starting from row three.
Oettl got away well and immediately moved into second position, Oncu lying seventh. Despite maintaining a very fast pace, the German was unable to remain in contact with the race leader, but held second all the way to the line, having fought off attacks by other riders in the final stages. Oncu battled as part of the chasing group and made up one position to cross the line sixth.
In the championship standings, Oettl is third with 217 points, while Oncu is tenth with 113. The next Supersport World Championship will run from 1-3 October at the Algarve Circuit in Portimao, Portugal.
Circuit Angel Nieto, #jerez - Spain
Supersport World Championship
Race 17: 1) Aegerter (Yamaha) – 2) Oettl (Kawasaki) – 3) Tuuli (MV Agusta) – 4) Gonzales (Yamaha) – 5) Caricasulo (Yamaha) – 6) Oncu (Kawasaki) – 7) De Rosa (Kawasaki)
“I expected more from this race, but I’ll settle for sixth and the points I’ve earned. I started quite well and was immediately up in the chasing group, but I couldn’t get into a rhythm that would allow me to make up many places. The team worked hard and I did my best, but we still need a little extra in order to be a little further forward”. - Can Oncu
“I wanted to win this race but I failed by ten seconds. I did not expect the gap to be that big, so I am surprised. I think I picked up some rubber from the track on my front tyre early in the race because it felt like I had a huge problem with the front. I had to check there was no puncture. I was a little bit worried for a while but in the next few corners there was nothing to worry about. By then there was a gap as Aegerter went out in front and I never saw him again. I expected to fight for the win today but it was a fight for track position. I am happy to be on the podium, happy for the team who worked 100% this weekend, but I am also not happy as I wanted to win.” - Philipp Oettl
