Ten Kate Honda back on SSP pole with Foret
| Saturday, 09 July 2011 16:19 |
Fabien Foret (Ten Kate Honda) took a Honda bike to pole position in Supersport for the second time this year following Sam Lowes' exploit at Misano Adriatico.
The Frenchman's time of 2 minutes 03.548 seconds came right at the end of the session and it allows the former Brno winner and Supersport champion to launch a major push for the win tomorrow.
Foret was just a fraction ahead of the two Kawasaki Motocard.com riders Broc Parkes and David Salom, who are also looking particularly competitive, while Britain's Gino Rea also consolidated his weekend progress with an excellent fourth place for the Step Racing Honda team.
Massimo Roccoli (Lorenzini by Leoni Kawasaki) heads up the second row of the grid ahead of Parkalgar Honda's Lowes, with Robbin Harms (Harms Benjan Honda), points leader Chaz Davies (Yamaha ParkinGO) and Roberto Tamburini (Bike Service Yamaha) the next qualifiers. The other top title contender Luca Scassa (Yamaha ParkinGO) was unable to go any higher than twelfth.
