Nicolò Bulega was the winner of the first race at Magny-Cours in the World Supersport Championship. In the race held this afternoon, the Aruba.it Ducati rider led from start to finish.
After keeping the lead at the start, Bulega managed to distance himself from Stefano Manzi (Ten Kate Racing Yamaha), who moved up to second place as early as the second lap.
However, in the final part, Manzi managed to get closer and put some pressure on Bulega. The future World Superbike rider held off his rival and won with a 0.587s gap. Valentin Debise (GMT94 Yamaha) continued his strong performance from Superpole to secure third place – his first podium of the year. Adrián Huertas (MTM Kawasaki) and Niki Tuuli (PTR Triumph) finished fourth and fifth, respectively.
