The FIM Supersport 300 World Championship started its Prosecco DOC Catalunya Round in a typically unpredictable way on Friday with the order changing consistently throughout both sessions, but it was Jose Luis Perez Gonzalez (Accolade Smrz Racing BGR) who claimed top spot on home soil. The Spanish rider was almost four tenths clear of his competitors at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya as most riders on the grid found time between Free Practice 1 and 2.
FIGHTING AT THE FRONT: looking to challenge Perez Gonzalez
Perez Gonzalez was one of several riders who led during the second 30-minute practice session but his time of 1’55.948s, set in FP2, was the fastest of the day to finish almost four tenths clear at the top of the timesheets. He was the only rider in the 1’55s bracket but he was still half-a-second away from the Tissot Superpole lap record and eight tenths away from the race lap record. Italian rider Matteo Vannucci (AG Motorsport Italia Yamaha) took second spot after lapping 0.394s slower than Perez Gonzalez, while 2020 Champion Jeffrey Buis (MTM Kawasaki) jumped up the order to third spot and just over four tenths down on Perez Gonzalez.
DI SORA QUICKEST IN FP1: fourth overall, first in the morning
Samuel Di Sora (ProDina Kawasaki Racing) was fourth after posting a 1’56.422s although the Frenchman was the fastest rider in Free Practice 1 as he showed strong pace throughout Friday, finishing ahead of double Assen winner Petr Svoboda (Fusport – RT Motorsport by SKM – Kawasaki) in fifth place. Alessandro Zanca (Team#109 Kawasaki) is another who has shown strong pace throughout the weekend so far with the Italian rider taking sixth place in the combined classification.
COMPLETING THE TOP TEN: it’s close in WorldSSP300
Fellow Italian rider Mirko Gennai (Team BrCorse) was seventh ahead of the Yamaha MS Racing/AD78 Latin America Team duo who took eighth and ninth respectively. Humberto Maier was the lead rider in the team as he took eighth place with Enzo Valentim in ninth and the pair separated by around 0.020s. Rookie Mattia Martella (ProDina Kawasaki Racing) rounded out the top ten after lapping around seven tenths slower than Perez Gonzalez at the top of the timesheets.
HOUSEKEEPING: to note from WorldSSP300 Race 2
Lennox Lehmann (Freudenberg KTM – Paligo Racing) was the lead KTM rider in 11th place after setting a 1’56.800s, finishing ahead of Gabriele Mastroluca (Arco Motor University Team) in 12th and wildcard Unai Calatayud (Arco Motor University Team) in 13th place. Mexican rider Juan Pablo Uriostegui (Team#109 Kawasaki) took 14th place ahead of the returning Galang Hendra Pratama (Sublime Racing by MS Racing). The Indonesian rider rounded out the top 15 after setting a 1’56.947s, around one second down on the fastest rider.
Loris Veneman (MTM Kawasaki) was one rider who did not improve in FP2. He had a crash in the very early stages of the second practice session at Turn 4 which meant he did not set any lap times, meaning his FP1 time, a 1’56.982s, was his best of the day. This was good enough for the rookie to take 18th place in the classification.
The top six from WorldSSP300 on Friday, full results here:
1. Jose Luis Perez Gonzalez (Accolade Smrz Racing BGR) 1’55.948s
2. Matteo Vannucci (AG Motorsport Italia Yamaha) +0.394s
3. Jeffrey Buis (MTM Kawasaki) +0.429s
4. Samuel Di Sora (ProDina Kawasaki Racing) +0.474s
5. Petr Svoboda (Fusport – RT Motorsport by SKM – Kawasaki) +0.593s
As the sun continued to beat down in Barcelona and the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, the on-track action was intense as always. With a track temperature surging into the 40s, grip – like always in Montmelo – came at a premium. Looking good from the start and growing in stature all the time, Bahattin Sofuoglu (MV Agusta Reparto Corse) grabbed first honours of the Prosecco DOC Catalunya Round weekend.
It was a bright start to the day for Bahattin Sofuoglu, with the Turkish star enjoying the feeling of topping a session in World Supersport for the first. The #54 will look to follow in the footsteps of uncle, Kenan, and add his name to the winners’ list. However, he suffered a crash at the end of the session at Turn 2 but was back up and running and on top. Stefano Manzi (Ten Kate Racing Yamaha) took second position as he aims to close the gap to Championship leader Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati), with just 0.199s covering the top three. Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team) took fourth place and it was Raffaele De Rosa (Orelac Racing VerdNatura) in fifth, although they were over fourth tenths adrift of Sofuoglu.
Making it two MV Agusta’s inside the top six was German rookie Marcel Schroetter (MV Agusta Reparto Corse), as the #23 continues to make good strides in the opening third of the season. Jorge Navarro (Ten Kate Racing Yamaha) was seventh and further up the order than previously demonstrated, although he suffered a fall at Turn 10. Niki Tuuli (Dynavolt Triumph) was in eighth, ahead of Federico Caricasulo (Althea Racing Team) and top WorldSSP Challenge rider Tom Booth-Amos (Motozoo ME Air Racing), who completed the top ten.
Speaking on social media, Fernandez said: “As you may already know, I finally had to have surgery. First of all, I would sincerely thank Dr. Foruria for the incredible job he has done, because I was not suffering from a normal arm pump, as I had 9 affected muscles. Now the difficult part begins, since we have to prepare everything with the aim of arriving in France in the best possible way.”
Bright sunshine brought warm temperatures and a track temperature of 37 degrees at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Spain. The legendary venue hosts the Prosecco DOC Catalunya Round, where it was a Ducati on top after FP1 but not the one that had been anticipated. Michael Ruben Rinaldi (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) was on mighty form at a circuit he always goes well at, bouncing back after disappointment in the Netherlands two weeks ago.
Leading the way for the majority of the session, Michael Ruben Rinaldi (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) responded from his Dutch doldrums at Assen with a fine morning in Montmelo. The Italian set a 1’41.633 and was sitting pretty on the top of the timesheets, and will aim to improve further, already just a second off of last year’s Superpole time. In second place and with new chassis items to try and conserve the front tyre more, and the #65 looked good in the warm morning temperatures, just 0.019s behind Rinaldi. Third place honours went to Toprak Razgatlioglu (Pata Yamaha Prometeon WorldSBK), who charged up the order on his final stint to make it three manufacturers inside the top three. Pre-weekend favourite Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) took fourth place but stayed in the pits for the final four minutes, heading out right at the end for a practice start. It’s always a strong round for Honda and Iker Lecuona (Team HRC) was fifth in FP1.
Bumping himself up to sixth place in FP1, Andrea Locatelli (Pata Yamaha Prometeon WorldSBK) was just ahead of Dominique Aegerter (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team) who was top Independent rider in P7, ahead of the second factory Honda of Xavi Vierge (Team HRC), who crashed at Turn 1 in the closing stages of the session, although he was able to remount. English duo Alex Lowes (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) and Scott Redding (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) completed the top ten.
There was a small crash for Loris Baz (Bonovo Action BMW) at the start of the session and he finished in P17. Top Independent rider in the Championship standings Axel Bassani (Motocorsa Racing) was only 13th. Ivo Lopes (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) is replacing Michael van der Mark this weekend but didn’t get out to set a lap time with a mechanical problem.
Indonesia’s Aldi Satya Mahendra had another great start to his race weekend in the Yamaha R3 bLU cRU European Championship by snatching a second pole of the season at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
The Catalan track offered near-perfect weather conditions on Friday morning for Free Practice 1, although the tarmac was still a little ‘green’ for the R3 riders who were the first class to put the rubber down. Italy’s Emiliano Ercolani set the fastest time in the opening session, more than a tenth of a second quicker than his nearest contender, Mahendra. Ercolani won the inaugural R3 race of the season back in Assen, and he has clearly carried his form into Barcelona. Rounding out the Top 3 in FP1 was Thailand’s Krittapat Keankum.
The temperatures soared for Superpole and the young talents were keen to make the most of their qualifying session. Unfortunately, a red flag temporarily halted proceedings at the halfway point when Poland’s Dawid Nowak took a heavy fall. The bLU cRU stalwart emerged uninjured, but it was session over for him. Meanwhile, Mahendra was building pace at the front, clocking a lap time 0.463 seconds faster than his rivals to take his second pole from two rounds. Home rider Marc Vich secured second on the grid, while Ercolani rounded out the front row.
Aldi Satya Mahendra said: “I’m feeling very happy because this is my second pole position of the season, but the job isn’t finished, and I want to stay focused for tomorrow. We have two races tomorrow and let’s see what I can do. For sure I want to end up better than Assen, where I was on pole but finished 12th and 7th.”
Track action for the 2023 Prosecco DOC Catalunya Round at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya got underway with the 30-minute Free Practice 1 session for the FIM Supersport 300 World Championship with a mixed-up order in the opening session. French rider Samuel Di Sora (ProDina Kawasaki Racing) topped the times in FP1 by almost two tenths ahead of his nearest rivals as he showed his hand first in Barcelona.
Di Sora set a best lap time of 1’56.521s to top the times in the 30-minute session ahead of Assen podium finishers Matteo Vannucci (AG Motorsport Italia Yamaha) and Humberto Maier (Yamaha MS Racing/AD78 Latin America Team). Di Sora was 0.192s ahead of Vannucci in second place after he set a 1’56.713s, while the Italian was around half-a-tenth clear of Maier in third with the trio separated by just over two tenths.
Fourth place belonged to home hero Jose Luis Perez Gonzalez (Accolade Smrz Racing BGR) as he lapped 0.271s off the pace, with Perez Gonzalez ahead of Mexican rider Juan Pablo Uriostegui (Team#109 Kawasaki) in fifth place after he set a 1’56.862s. Teammate Alessandro Zanca took sixth place, only 0.018s slower than Uriostegui, with Zanca only 0.359s away from top spot in Free Practice 1.
Rookie Loris Veneman (MTM Kawasaki) was seventh and around four tenths off the pace with the Dutch rider often riding in tandem with teammate Jeffrey Buis; the 2020 Champion finished in 23th place. Rookie Julio Garcia (Team Flembbo-PI Performances), who scored a podium here last year as a wildcard, was eighth with Spanish rider Daniel Mogeda (Kawasaki GP Project) in ninth place. Mirko Gennai (Team BrCorse) rounded out the top ten ahead of Championship leader Petr Svoboda (Fusport – RT Motorsport by SKM – Kawasaki) in 11th with the Czech rider only taking to the circuit in the second half of the season.
Wildcard Unai Calatayud (Arco Motor University Team) was 19th on his return to WorldSSP300, with his teammates Gabriele Mastroluca and Ruben Bijman directly ahead of him. The returning Galang Hendra Pratama (Sublime Racing by MS Racing) took 23rd place. Ivan Bolano Hernandez’s (Deza-Box 77 Racing Team) debut session came to an end with around three minutes left when he had an issue heading into Turn 9, causing him to end FP1 early.
The top six following WorldSSP300 FP1, full results here:
1 Samuel Di Sora (ProDina Kawasaki Racing) 1’56.521s
2. Matteo Vannucci (AG Motorsport Italia Yamaha) +0.192s
3. Humberto Maier (Yamaha MS Racing/AD78 Latin America Team) +0.253s
4. Jose Perez Luis Gonzalez (Accolade Smrz Racing) +0.271s

Dorna WSBK Organization and Pirelli have announced the extension of their partnership for another three years. Pirelli will remain the Official Tyre Supplier for all classes of the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship, up to and including the 2026 season.
This long-standing partnership, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, has been a testament to the success of the collaboration between DWO and Pirelli. The two organisations have worked together closely to develop high-quality, reliable, and high-performance tyres that are essential to the safety and success of the riders.
WorldSBK provides a competitive and challenging environment for Pirelli to develop and innovate its tyres continually. As such, the Championship is a key tyre development platform in Pirelli’s motorcycle strategy and the extension of the partnership confirms Pirelli’s commitment to the Championship as a crucial part of its motorsports involvement.
DWO is delighted to continue its partnership with Pirelli, and both parties look forward to working together to further improve the MOTUL FIM World Superbike Championship. The renewed partnership will undoubtedly help to enhance the competitiveness and excitement of the Championship, providing riders, teams, and fans with a thrilling experience.
Aldo Nicotera, Senior Vice-President and Head of Moto and Cycling Pirelli said: “This year we are celebrating an important milestone: in fact, it has been 20 years that we have been alongside the FIM Superbike World Championship as sole supplier for all classes. A road, begun in 2004, which represented the first example of a single-tyre formula in the history of top motorsport competitions and which, years later, has proven to be a winning choice, later followed by other championships. Motorsport has historically been an integral part of Pirelli’s DNA and this renewal is in line with our corporate strategy which sees World Superbike as a key platform for the development of our motorcycle tyres, starting with racing and super sports tyres. We are happy to continue this adventure alongside Dorna, the teams and riders until 2026 whilst continuing to offer motorcyclists from all over the world tyres that contain the best of Superbike-derived technology.”
Gregorio Lavilla, WorldSBK Executive Director for DWO added: “Pirelli has proved time and again to be a perfect match for WorldSBK as our sole Official Tyre Supplier. Not only does our partnership ensure a great level of quality and performance to our teams and riders throughout the season on a wide variety of venues, but they also completely embraced the values and philosophy of the Championship by bringing to the race track the products they offer to motorcyclists. WorldSBK has evolved through numerous eras and phases since we started to work with Pirelli and the fact that we’ve been building on this mutually beneficial collaboration over the past 20 years is unprecedented. So, it’s with great enthusiasm that we’re looking towards the future of WorldSBK and Pirelli together as the Championship evolves and new challenges arise.”

Clubs & Competition (on display now)
In the early part of the 20th century, motorcycle culture was a homegrown phenomenon. It grew out of the passion of riders for their evolving sport. The camaraderie that developed around riding and attending competitive events led to the formation of motorcycle clubs that hosted destination rides, family picnics with motorcycle games, and other riding competitions.
The recently reinstalled display case in the Clubs & Competition gallery highlights clothing from club members from primarily the 1930s and 1940s. The clothing selections on view include full dress uniforms, shirts, sweaters, jackets and caps, customized by the owners with their club’s name and logo, and pins or patches indicating membership in the American Motorcyclist Association. The H-D Archives collection includes Motorclothes apparel sold in H-D product catalogs but also non-H-D produced clothing items that have been proudly customized by riders.
In the decades before America paved its highways, early riders had to be prepared for all sorts of terrain: sand, clay or dirt – and wandering those makeshift byways were Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Today, it’s called off-road or adventure touring; back then it was just called riding. Since 1903, Harley-Davidson motorcycles proved their toughness by riding over wooded hills, through stone-choked creek beds and up mountain sides. “Off-Road Harley-Davidson” tells the history of motorcycles designed for rough roads, the people who rode them and the adventures they shared.
Be a part of our long history of unique, premium designs with our exclusive 120th Anniversary collection. From men’s and women’s baseball jerseys to a vintage inspired sweater and jersey, it’s easy to show your H D pride in our 120th year.
