Kawasaki WorldSSP Team Riders Take Sunday Points Scores
Kawasaki WorldSSP Team riders Jeremy Alcoba and Dominique Aegerter earned points in the second race of the Balaton Park weekend, with Alcoba finishing seventh and Aegerter 15th.
Starting from second place on the grid, Alcoba was fourth for some time, until rapidly reducing rear tire traction saw him lose pace and finally track positions. He ended up a still with an impressive seventh on his Ninja ZX-6R 636 machine, and 5.588 seconds from the win after 18 intense laps.
Aegerter, who had started from 19th position on the grid, took one more championship point for his 15th-place finish, despite not quite finding the lap times he needed to move further forward.
After four rounds and eight individual races of the 2026 season, Alcoba is ranked seventh overall, with 65 points, which is the same points total as the rider who is officially sitting in sixth position. Aegerter is 14th in the championship table, having scored points in the most recent four WorldSSP races.
After Balaton Park, the entire WorldSSP circus will return to Central Europe, with Autodrom Most hosting Round 5, in the Czech Republic, from May 15-17.
“I am quite happy overall with the weekend. I think we did a really good job. I put all my efforts into being in front and fighting with the top guys. I think we did this, and the team did a really good job. It was a shame for the second race because we had a problem with the rear tire, which we need to analyze. We were still fighting with the leaders despite these problems. The speed is there, but for sure we are struggling in some parts of some corners, so we need to find something extra. But I am quite happy. I did my job, and I am happy with how things went over the weekend. We had an opportunity, but it was an unlucky day. I think in Most we can have a good weekend.”
- Jeremy Alcoba
“We started from 19th place on the grid and gained one championship point for 15th place. We tried to improve and I gave my best, but we couldn’t improve the lap times in our gap to the front. We need to work hard, see the data, check where we can improve, and look forward to the next race. I hope we can find something better so I can ride in the race positions we should be in.”
- Dominque Aegerter
