Kroatien (ots)

From the 13th to 15th of September 2019, the sixth and last racing weekend of the R3 bLU cRU Cup | Switzerland took place on the Automotodrom Grobnik near the port of Rijeka. Not only during the last Motul Round, but throughout the season of Yamaha Switzerland's Junior program, the riders were actively supported on and off the track by the R3 bLU cRU Cup | Switzerland team, YART (Yamaha Austria Racing Team), Pirelli and Valentinos.

Having the best weather conditions and dry asphalt, the riders were able to get familiar with the race track during the training sessions. The Automotodrom Grobnik, located on Croatia's Adria, is one of the great classics of motorsport racing circuits. Qualifying for the riders was scheduled for Friday. This resulted in the starting grid for the two races on Saturday and Sunday.

Marcel Brenner (Moto 2 European Championship), Gasper Hudovernik (Supersport 300 - FIM Europe Cup), Sheridan Morais (Supersport 600 WM), Luca Tommasini (6x Croatian Champion), Petr Svoboda (European Talent Cup - FIM CEV Repsol), Jiri Nespesny (Supersport 300 - AAIMC) as well as Road Racing legend Horst Saiger completed the field on this weekend and started as wildcards.

The riders got to show off their skills during the two races and displayed their progress since the beginning of the season. The first race on Saturday started with some crashes in the first sector of the racetrack. A leading group of seven riders as well as two of the guest riders took off and fought for the podium. In the end, Alan Kroh was able to win ahead of Stephane Frossard, followed by Pedro Fragoso.

The second race on Sunday remained exciting until the end. Again, a group of nine riders took the lead. Many position changes, fair duels and clever strategy games over the slipstream took place. In the end, Stéphane Frossard of Team Badan Motos won ahead of Tom Berçot and Corentin Savary of team hostettler retail Yamaha Center Fribourg. With this victory, Stéphane is the overall winner of the season ahead of Tom Berçot and Alan Kroh.

Yamaha Motor Switzerland looks back on a successful season of the very first R3 bLU cRU Cup | Switzerland. Last but not least, this is due to sponsors and supporters.
