Rea grasps his second Tissot Superpole
A new best lap of 1 minute 41.712 seconds from Jonathan Rea (Castrol Honda) gave him his second Tissot-Superpole win in succession as the rider from Northern Ireland set out to end his season on a high.


Second was new champion Carlos Checa (Althea Racing Ducati) with third and fourth places taken by Yamaha World Superbike team-mates Eugene Laverty and Marco Melandri respectively.


The second row will feature the Effenbert Liberty Ducati duo of Sylvain Guintoli and Jakub Smrz, in fifth and sixth places overall.


Ever-improving Kawasaki rider Joan Lascorz (Kawasaki Racing Team) posted seventh with Pata Aprilia Racing rider Noriyuki Haga eighth.
