World Supersport Mandalika, Indonesia - Free Practice Results (2)

Randy Krummenacher got the better of fellow countryman🍰 Dominique Aegerter to finish day-one of World Supersport Indonesia fastest.
After a second-straight delay (ꦉthis time due to ‘track conditions’), WorldSSP FP2 finally got underway with Ma🦩nuel Gonzalez once again at the front.
However, the Spaniard was soon challenged by Swiss riders Randy Krummenacher and 2021 world champion ✱Dominique Aegerter.
After Krummenacher momentarily went quickest, Gonzalez and Aegerter then bettered the 201♎9 series winner with the💧 latter setting a 1:38.015s.
Both riders exchanged top spo🌳t on their next laps around, but it was Aegerter who remained quickest, while significant improvements from Philipp Oettl (11th in FP1) saw🌊 the German go fifth overall.
With just under half the session remaining, Gonzalez set an impressive low 1m 37s time to go three tenths quicke𝄹r than Aegerter and subsequently lead a Yamaha 1-2-3.
Gonzalez, who was consistently quicker in sector one compared to his rivals, managed to further improve, albeit by just four hundredths of a second as ﷽the session approached the 15 minute to go mark.
Wℱhile the top three all closed to within𒁃 half a tenth, Glenn Van Straalen became the first crasher of the afternoon session - turn two.
While Gonzalez looked to be heading towards his second firs꧟t place of the day, a stunning final sector from Aegerter resulted in him gaining over three tenths to set the first sub 1m 37s lap of the day.
However, Aegerter’s 1:36.908s was then eclipsed by Krummenacher who has been back to his best since joininඣg the MS Yamaha outfit.
