Skach On Top At Round One, Valencia

After a mostly dry day, the heavens opened shortly before the Suzuki GSX-R Cup riders went out for their first track session of the year. German rider Oliver Skach mastered the wet conditions superbly and ended the day with provisional pole position. Second fastest is Frenchman Emeric Jonchiere, with Dominic Lammert third.

Skach - 1st, 2:03.762

I have ridden here before so I do know the track a bit, but riding it in these conditions was quite tricky - especially at the beginning of the session. It felt very, very slippery and it took me a few laps before I felt confident enough to push harder. As the session wore on, I was able to improve lap by lap and I am so happy to finish the day with the best lap time. Apart from a little trip into the gravel, I had no problems today and I am looking forward to tomorrow and then the race on Sunday.

Circuit: 4.005 kms
Weather: Wet
