The 2024 FIM Supersport 300 World Championship returned to action at the Autodrom Most to kick off a fantastic weekend at the Czech Round, with Inigo Iglesias (Fusport-RT Motorsport by SKM-Kawasaki) returning to the top of the timesheets. The #58 set a strong 1’45.589 on his final flying lap of the session.

It was a sensational pace throughout the opening 25 minute Free Practice, with Championship leader Iglesias facing some tough competition this weekend. Carter Thompson took second to make it a Fusport-RT Motorsport by SKM-Kawasaki one-two on Friday morning, with the Australian ending the session 0.491s adrift. Aldi Mahendra (Team BrCorse) took third spot, setting 12 laps throughout the session – finishing as top Yamaha.

Mirko Gennai (MTM Kawasaki) was fourth, setting a strong 1’46.593 in the latter stages of the session and finished ahead of compatriot Marco Gaggi (Team BrCorse). The Italian rounded out the top five, showing some strong pace for Superpole later in the day. Pepe Osuna (DEZA-BOX 77 Racing Team) took sixth position, a further 0.006s behind Gaggi in a competitive field.

There was late drama in the closing stages of the session with Daniel Turecek (Rohac & Fejta Motoracing Team) suffering a highside and Ivan Bolano (DEZA-BOX 77 Racing Team) crashing at Turn 2.
