Cluzel and Sofuoglu once again in command of WSS qualifying.

Alongside Cluzel and Sofuoglu on the front row, PJ Jacobsen grabbed 3rd on his debut for the CORE Motorsport Thailand team.

Kyle Smith (Pata Honda World Supersport Team) and Gino Rea (CIA Landlords Insurance Honda) kept themselves very much in contention in 4th and 5th positions, as did Alex Baldolini (Race Department ATK#25) who completes row number 2.

Row 3 will see Fabio Menghi (VFT Racing) who produced his best qualifying result of the year so far, Lorenzo Zanetti (MV Agusta Reparto Corse) and Roberto Rolfo (Lorini Honda).

Round 7 of the World Supersport championship will take place at 1140 local time.
