This weekend, the sixth round of the FIM Supersport World Championship will be held at the Autodrom Most in the Czech Republic. After a positive race weekend at Donington Park, Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing travelled straight to the Czech circuit that has been on the World Superbike calendar since 2021.

The Autodrom Most was built back in 1983 but was not used for international motorcycle racing until 2021. The circuit is 4.2 kilometres long and has no fewer than 21 corners. It is a technical circuit and the demanding layout means Pirelli brings harder tyres than at other tracks.

After a good race weekend at Donington Park, with Stefano Manzi and Glenn van Straalen both in the top seven in Race 2, this weekend will be a case of building on these performances for Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing. With expected temperatures of over 30°C it will be a challenging weekend for the riders, the team and the equipment.

Stefano Manzi: “It’s the first back-to-back of the year and for me it’s really nice to race again, I like that I don’t have to wait so long to race again. Most is a track that I like a lot, it’s where I achieved my first podium finish in World Supersport. Last year I was quite fast and I finished on the podium as well. I cannot wait to get back on the bike, have a good time with the team and enjoy the weekend.”

Glenn van Straalen: “It’s good to race again straight away and stay in the rhythm. We finished the race weekend at Donington Park well so if we continue on that footing, we can hopefully get a good result. I’m looking forward to getting back to work with the team.”

Kervin Bos – Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing team manager: “It’s nice to be able to go straight to Most after the race weekend at Donington Park for the first back-to-back races of the season. After the good race weekend in England, I think Stefano and Glenn are both looking forward to going on the attack again this weekend. Given the weather conditions, it will be pretty tough but we are looking forward to getting started.”
