Valentin Debise claims first WorldSSP Superpole in France

Valentin Debise secured his first career WorldSSP Superpole at the French round held at the Nevers Magny-Cours circuit. Despite crashing at Turn 15 during the 40-minute session, Debise returned to the track with a new tire to set a final lap time of 1:39.585.

His performance marked a historic milestone for the Chinese manufacturer ZXMOTO, providing the brand with its first-ever WorldSSP pole position. Debise’s teammate, Federico Caricasulo, secured second place with a time of 1:39.644, ensuring a front-row lockout for the team.
