Magny-Cours World Superbike FP1 results: Rea top as Bassani suffers nasty fall
Jonathan Rea, who recently signed with Yamaha for 2024, set the fastest time during the early stages of the race, leading a factory Kawasaki 1-2. He was followed by Alex Lowes, who was four tenths behind, while championship leader Alvaro Bautista was 1.2 seconds off the pace. Bautista made aggressive overtakes to improve his position but was unable to catch Rea. Toprak Razgatlioglu and Scott Redding also showed strong pace but couldn’t match Rea’s time. The session was red-flagged after Axel Bassani’s crash at turn seven, raising concerns about his condition. The schedule for the Magny-Cours weekend included practice sessions, Superpole races, and two main races.
