FRA ROUND | FRIDAY

The Aruba.it Racing – Ducati team got back to work at the Magny-Cours circuit (France) after the long summer break.
 
The Friday free practice session for the Pirelli French Round, the ninth event of the 2023 WorldSBK season, closed with a solid sixt place in the combined standings for Alvaro Bautista, who made significant progress in the afternoon despite the much higher temperature that made the track less performing than in the morning.

“I’m satisfied with what we did on this first day, also because I arrived at Magny-Cours in less than optimal conditions due to a stomach virus. Fortunately, since this morning things have been improving and this allowed me to do the usual Friday setup work, trying to find the best feeling with the bike without looking at the Chrono.“
