After three Sundays without action, the Evan Bros. WorldSSP Yamaha Team is ready to fire up the engines again. This weekend the third round of the 2022 season will take place at the Estoril circuit. The Portuguese track joined the Supersport calendar in 2020, and since then two of the four rounds have been won by Evan Bros. WorldSSP Yamaha Team riders.

The Estoril circuit was also the scene of one of the Ravenna-based team’s winter tests, but it was only able to make partial use of the two-day program due to bad weather. Lorenzo Baldassarri was nevertheless able to familiarize himself with the track, on which he races the last time in 2011, and now returns to Portugal eager to do well, on the strength of the victory and the two podiums obtained in the first two rounds of the season, which put him in second place in the championship standings.

The weekend’s programme will open on Friday, with the two free practice sessions scheduled for 11.25 and 4 local time, while on Saturday it will be time for Superpole (10.25) and Race 1 (15.15). On Sunday the programme will end with Race 2, scheduled at 12.30.

“I have some good memories of Estoril, even though they go back more than ten years. In the tests with the team the rain prevented us from working as we would have liked, but I’m sure we’ll still be able to start off on the right foot. We are growing, so I am looking forward to this new weekend“.
