Kawasaki WorldSSP Team riders Jeremy Alcoba and Dominique Aegerter earned points in the second race of the Balaton Park weekend, with Jeremy finishing seventh and Dominique 15th.
Starting from second place on the grid, Alcoba was fourth for some time, until rapidly reducing rear tyre traction saw him lose pace and finally track positions. He ended up a still-impressive seventh on his Ninja ZX-6R 636 machine, and 5.588 seconds from the win after 18 intense laps.
Aegerter, who had started from 19th position on the grid, took one more championship point for his 15th place finish, despite not quite finding the lap times he needed to move further forward.
After four rounds and eight individual races of the 2026 season, Alcoba is ranked seventh overall, with 65 points, which is the same points total as the rider who is officially sitting in sixth position. Dominique is 14th in the championship table, having scored points in the most recent four WorldSSP races.
After Balaton Park, the entire WorldSSP circus will return to Central Europe, with Autodrom Most hosting Round Five, in Czechia, between 15-17 May.
Manuel Puccetti
“For our Supersport team this was, overall, the best weekend of the season so far. Alcoba, fourth yesterday and just missing out on a podium, again ran in the front group today and crossed the line seventh, despite unexpected rear tyre wear, while Aegerter, who continues to make progress, reached the points zone.”
Jeremy Alcoba
“I am quite happy overall with the weekend. I think we did a really good job. I put all my efforts on being in front and fighting with the top guys. I think we did this, and the team did a really good job. It was a shame for the second race because we had a problem with the rear tyre, which we need to analyse. We were still fighting with the leaders despite these problems. The speed is there, but for sure we are struggling in some parts of some corners, so we need to find something extra. But I am quite happy. I did my job, and I am happy with how things went in the weekend. We had an opportunity, but it was an unlucky day. I think in Most we can have a good weekend.”
Dominique Aegerter
“We started from 19th place on the grid and gained one championship point for 15th place. We tried to improve and I gave my best, but we couldn’t improve the lap times in our gap to the front. We need to work hard, see the data, check where we can improve and look forward to the next race. I hope we can find something better so I can ride in the race positions we should be in.”
