@WorldSSP 2016 @Jacobsen and the $Honda #WorldSSP Team top @Assen timesheets on opening day Round 4 – The #Netherlands TT Circuit Assen, Netherlands



PJ Jacobsen and the Honda WorldSSP Team have topped the timesheets in today’s first two practice sessions for the FIM Supersport World Championship at the TT Circuit Assen in the Netherlands. The 22-year-old from Montgomery, New York, perfectly mastered the wet conditions of the 4.542 Km Dutch track and, courtesy of a 1’54.999 lap-time, he managed to elevate himself to first position at halfway point during free practice number two.
Jacobsen thoroughly enjoyed the fruits of the hard work done by the team at Ten Kate’s HQ after the Spanish round to improve the settings of the rear end of the bike. With a perfectly balanced Honda CBR600RR machine at his disposal, he is now looking forward to the fourth-round Superpole 2, which will kick-start tomorrow at 11:55 local time (GMT +2).

Things have gone really well today. The guys have done an incredible job at the (Ten Kate) shop over the last two weeks and the bike has felt much better straight away. I want to really thank the team for the support and I hope to continue in this direction tomorrow. We’ll be ready to fight no matter the conditions we encounter.

The work done by Arnold (Ten Kate Racing Products suspension specialist) after the last round has paid dividends today. We tried some more adjustments with the rear shock but then we decided to go back to the previous settings. In the end, it was mostly about lapping as much as we could and thankfully, we were able to get a very encouraging first position. We are now looking forward to tomorrow with great confidence.
