WorldSBK Assen: Bautista topt training koud, winderig en nat TT-circuit
19 april 2024
Op een koud, winderig en deels nat circuit van Assen heeft Alvaro Bautista de snelste tijd gezet. De 2-voudig wereldkampioen reed in FP2 op een grotendeels droge baan een 1'35.473 voordat de training vanwege een losgekomen airfence werd stilgelegd, waarna het weer op delen van het circuit begon te regenen. Toprak Razgatlioglu had in FP1 de snelste tijd gezet en eindigde de dag daarmee op de tweede plaats.
