Jules Cluzel (GMT94 Yamaha) – after his no fault of his own crash in the first race of the season, he was unlucky at the start of the Aragon season. As expected, the fast Frenchman was one of the best on day one at Estoril.

The first day of the second WorldSSP round in Estoril

The lead changed several times in FP2 until shortly before the end and except for De Rosa and Bernardi, all the drivers drove a better time in the afternoon than they did in FP1. In the end, the “Domi-Fighter” from Switzerland was just ahead of Cluzel and Caricasulo. Behind them Philipp Öttl, Manuel Gonzalez, Chris Bergman and Steven Odendaal. The double winner from the season opener lost less than half a second to the fastest time. He should also be aware that it was still a pure training session on Friday. The hunt for good starting positions begins on Saturday morning and only then is it about world championship points. In our live blog on both days of the weekend, we will be reporting more quickly than any other portal about what is happening in Estoril, while MotoGP is also holding its sixth round of the World Championship in Mugello.

Hannes Soomer (Kallio Racing Yamaha R6) – as one of the most convincing drivers, the Estonian was not in the top ten at the start in Aragon on the first day in Portugal, but points will only be awarded on Saturday.

Circuito do Estoril

The Circuito do Estoril offers a similar layout to the Autodromo do Algarve near Portimão, but much less up and down. Curves 1, the very narrow 9 and target curve 13 are particularly tricky here.
