The 2019 FIM Supersport World Championship is headed towards Magny-Cours this weekend. Bardahl Evan Bros Yamaha Supported WorldSSP rider Randy Krummenacher is eyeing for a top finish after taking on the lead in the championship standings. Teammate Federico Caricasulo is not that far behind at the second place, bearing only a 10 point difference to claim the lead after his stellar win in Portimão.
The Bardahl Evan duo has conquered the WorldSSP this season with Badahl Yamaha securing seven out of nine victories thus far. Krummenacher won four out of those wins whereas Caricasulo won three. Caricasulo also maintained a sterling performance by making it to the podium for every race.
Krummenacher and Caricasulo will be facing Frenchman Jules Cluzel for the battle for triumph this weekend. The GMT94 Yamaha Supported WorldSSP rider has secured two victories this season and has high hopes of claiming a home race win at Magny-Cours.

“I’ve been training hard since Portimão and I’m looking forward to getting back on the bike in Magny-Cours. I feel really strong going into this race, but the approach will remain the same as always; to work towards the race on Sunday and then do my best to win. I’m not thinking about the championship positions, I’m just thinking about doing the best job I can in the races we have left, and the championship will sort itself out,” says Caricasulo as quoted from Yamaha Racing.

“I’m happy to be heading back home to Magny-Cours, as it’s a track that holds a lot of good memories for me. I’ve won there four times in the past. The only downside is that I seemed to have won only every two years in the past. So that’s a statistic I’ll be pushing hard to change this weekend! The weather conditions look like they will be on the cool side. This will make for a difficult weekend but may well prove to be something we can take advantage of. It’s my home race, which is always busy for both me and the team but promises to be even busier this year with the additional guests we have joining us. The extra support is welcome, and it will be really cool to see everyone there. It’s also important that I remain focused on the race.”
