World Cup concluded qualifyings and heats for the Prague race!

Women’s class qualifying for Šacherová
Jetsurf Mexico’s Ale Rivas was the first rider on the track to try her best within two laps. Likeable Mexican racer showed amazing performance, clean and fast ride with 50:42 seconds on the finish line. She was leading the way just until Czech rider Aneta Šacherová headed on the Vltava river in Prague’s city center. Factory Team rider managed to push her best under fifty seconds per lap and 49.75 meant the second consecutive pole position for Šacherová. Top three was completed by Aneta’s compatriot Tereza Tesaříková.

Kornfeil dominated the men’s category
Slovakian race winner Lukáš Záhorský set the fastest lap of 55.38 and led the men’s qualifying standing. Championship leader Jakub Kornfeil made all the spectators completely speechless. His 53.63 remained undefeated and pretty well known number 84 concluded the qualifying session setting the pace. There was a big fight for 3rd spot. It was occupied by Ivo Strouhal who was relegated by 2015 multiple podium finisher Michal Lošťák and his 56.93. Jetsurf founder Martin Šula was another guy to change the current positions. Šula’s 56.67 was enough to overtake Lošťák and took current third. However, Martin Šula didn’t stay inside the top three for long. Jetsurf Prague Club’s Jan Charouz lapped around the circuit within 56.48 and completed the top three positions.
