Roberto Tamburini (Team MotoxRacing) grabbed 2nd after a strong performance in his debut race in the class, with Kev Coghlan, who makes a return to Superstock racing with MRS Yamaha claiming the final place on the front row of the grid for tomorrow’s 13 lap encounter.

Raffaele de Rosa powered his Althea Racing Ducati to 4th (+0.529s), ahead of one of Ondrej Jezek (Triple-M by Barni) and Bryan Staring (Team Pedercini). The latter pair only (0.695s) and (1.096s) from Savadori’s time of 1.52.577s, respectively.

Former champion on two occasions Sylvain Barrier (GM Racing) recovered from a spectacular crash this morning to qualify 7th on his return to the class.
