Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team) claimed his second Supersport Superpole of the season with a new lap record at Most.
The Italian, also the pole sitter at Misano, has been in great form this year and will start tomorrow’s 19 lap race hoping to stop the run of four consecutive wins for Huertas.
Adrian Huertas (Aruba.it Racing WorldSSP Team) was over one tenth of a second slower than Montella’s lap record pace.
Stefano Manzi (Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing) and Valentin Debise (Evan Bros. WorldSSP Yamaha Team) once again lead the Yamaha charge. For Manzi it will be his fifth consecutive front row start.
Bahattin Sofuoglu (MV Agusta Reparto Corse) registered his best qualifying performance of the season in sixth position. The MV Agusta rider is one of three riders from the Italian manufacturer inside the top ten.
P1 | Yari Montella | Barni Spark Racing Team
“It was a good day for sure. It was strange because in the morning I didn’t feel comfortable with the rear tyre. We were able to work hard during the sessions, and find a good solution to this problem. I believed we had the speed for pole position. We fought for the pole position with Huertas and tomorrow I expect it will be the same as in Donington and Misano against him. I have good pace and I feel good with the bike. We’ll try to do our best in Race 1.”
