Superpole - Kawasaki: Fifth For Okubo After Superpole Qualifying
Press release available only in original language.
Kawasaki Puccetti #racing riders #hikariokubo and #lucasmahias finished a sometimes dramatic #WorldSSP Superpole qualifying session at #assen in fifth and eighth places respectively in readiness for the 18-lap race on Sunday the 14th of April.
Very cold and often windy conditions have made it a tough #assen weekend so far for all the competitors, with air and track temperatures often in single figures along with snow at some points.
On Friday Mahias was an impressive third fastest with Okubo a strong sixth, ready to make further progress in Superpole. But misfortune struck when Lucas suffered a technical problem in Superpole, and Hikari was unlucky enough to fall on oil.
After a long delay for track cleaning, and even a short fall of snow due to the cold weather, the track action got underway again without Lucas or Hikari. A slight fall of rain ensured that the finishing order would not progress being that already set.
Now starting the race on Sunday from the second and third rows respectively, Okubo and Mahias are still in good positions to make early progress and compete at the most flowing and slipstream-friendly circuit of the season so far.
