Aleix Viu leader in Supersport Next Generation
Aleix Viu dominated Supersport with authority, as did his teammate before in Superbikes.
He rode alone with a great pace and managed to win the double race in Jerez and take home the Leader’s Plate.
On Sunday, the fight for the podium was between Yeray Ruiz (Pirelli) and Meikon Kawakami (Pirelli). Eric Fernández (Michelin) was able to join that fight because he was more than a second behind the group but, with five laps to go and when he was already riding with them, he fell due to his inexperience in the category, at only 15 years old and with a lower bike (Superstock).
Finally, Yeray was second and Meikon, his teammate, third.
