The World Supersport Championship race at Monza will go ahead followi🙈ng the second World Superbike encounter after three red flag periods wreaked havoc with the schedule.

The World Supersport race originally got underw🌟ay as planned at 12.30GMT, but was stopped on the third lap when all four leaders, Kenan Sofuoglu, Florian Marino, Sam Lowes and Lorenzo Zane🉐tti, slipped off on oil deposited by Massimo Roccoli's Yamaha.

Following a lengthy clean-up operation, the second start lasted just one lap when Alessia Polita suffered an accident on the exit of Ascari, her VFT Yamaha caus𒅌ing damage to the barrier🐷s at a crucial point of the circuit.

Getting goinﷺg for a third tim✱e an hour after the original start, the race would last just seconds when a massive first corner pile-up would see the red flag out for a third time. Seemingly prompted by Stefano Cruciani going into the first corner too hot, the Italian would clip Lorenzo Zanetti, the subsequent crash causing a concertina effect behind that would in turn take several riders off their bikes.

As a 🐓result, attention turns to the second﷽ World Superbike race, which will start on schedule at 14.30GMT, with the fourth attempt at the Supersport race set to take place afterwards.
