Foret leads WSS after Aragon race win

E-mail Print PDF
foret-storyFabien Foret (Mahi Racing Team India Kawasaki) scored a great first win of the season after a day of dramas for many top runners, including his own team-mate Kenan Sofuoglu who no scored. Foret, who with his team crew had made some late set-up improvements in time for the 18-lap race, eventually got into his stride after a poor first lap that dropped him to 11th. He was in the lead by lap eight, and led a total of six laps, most crucially the final one when his only rival at that point, Sam Lowes, had to retire.
