Pole and record for Barrier

Sylvain Barrier (BMW Motorrad GoldBet) achieved his 15th career STK1000 pole position - his seventh of the season - today at the Nurburgring, after leading the way at the end of Qualifying 2. The Reigning Champion and current leader in the points, who has a first match point for title defence this weekend, set a 1'58.624 seconds time that meant also a new best lap for the class. Jeremy Guarnoni (MRS Kawasaki) tried a last charge to the top in the final seconds but fell 0.062s short of Barrier's mark.


Barni Racing Team Niccolò Canepa completes the first row of the grid for tomorrow's race on his 1199 Panigale by finishing third, while Leandro Mercado (Team Pedercini Kawasaki), Matthieu Lussiana (Team Aspi Kawasaki) and Ondrej Jezek (SK Energy - Fany Gastro Ducati) were fourth, fifth and sixth respectively at the flag.
