Green light at Portimao: Baldassarri 5th and Sebestyen 23rd at the end of Portuguese Day 1


First day of practice for the Evan Bros. #worldssp Yamaha Team, busy at the #portimao circuit for round nine of the 2022 season. Both #lorenzobaldassarri and #petersebestyen used the two available sessions to start working on the set-up of their Yamaha YZF-R6, obtaining the 5° and 23° position respectively in the combined standings.

At 12.25 (Italian time) FP1 got underway, characterised - like the rest of the day - by clear sky and high temperatures. Baldassarri completed 19 laps, finishing 4th, while Sebestyen was 21st with 15 laps.

In the afternoon it was then time for FP2. Baldassarri was able to improve on his morning time, completing 17 laps and ending the session in 5th place. 16 laps instead for Sebestyen, owner of 22nd place.

With the first day of action over, it is now time for the races. Tomorrow in fact the Evan Bros. #worldssp Yamaha Team will take to the track first at 11.25 (Italian time) for Superpole, then at 16.15 for Race 1.
