All to play for at penultimate R3 bLU cRU World Cup Round at Magny-Cours
The French circuit hosts the second-to-last round of 2024 with plenty still up for grabs
Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours in France will host the penultimate round of the 2024 FIM Yamaha R3 bLU cRU World Cup where the Top 5 in the standings are separated by just 51 points with 100 left to play for.
Last time out at Donington Park in July the two thrilling races left Spanish rivals Gonzalo Sanchez and Marc Vich split by just ten points. A Race 1 victory for Vich was followed up with second place in Race 2, while his season-long opponent and class rookie Sanchez could only manage third and fifth on the unfamiliar circuit.
Improving round-by-round, Italy’s Alessandro Di Persio took his maiden win at Donington Park and moved into title contention at just 37 points down on leader Sanchez. Poland’s Dawid Nowak, fresh from winning his national championship, sits 44 points behind thanks to his consistency while Brazil’s Eduardo Burr is 51 points from the top.
Situated in central France the Circuit Nevers Magny-Cours has hosted motorsport events for more than 60 years and the track provides a great variety of fast and sweeping sections mixed with tighter corners. The early autumn weather could prove a challenge for the young riders with rain predicted during the race weekend.
