Lowes takes the top slot in Supersport Q1
Parkalgar Honda's Sam Lowes powered to the top of the timesheets after the first World Supersport qualifying session with the time of 1 minute 59.771 seconds. Lowes, the only rider to dip under the two minute mark, was quickest ahead of points leader and fellow Brit Chaz Davies (Yamaha ParkinGO).


Spain's David Salom (Kawasaki Motocard.com) was up at the front for much of the session, and finished third while his Motocard.com team-mate Broc Parkes was in sixth. The two Kawasaki machines sandwiched the Harms Benjan Racing Honda of Robbin Harms in fourth and the Hannspree Ten Kate version in fifth.


Title contender Fabien Foret (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) could only manage seventh place, while for the Italians it was a day to forget with Massimo Roccoli (Lorenzini by Leoni Kawasaki) down in tenth and Luca Scassa (Yamaha ParkinGO) one place behind. There was an incredible incident for Roberto Tamburini (Bike Service R.T. Yamaha), who was taken out under braking by his team-mate Luca Marconi. The latter was taken to hospital with a broken right collarbone and for further checks.
