Last year’s STK1000 winner will start from the front tomorrow.

Ondrej Jezek (Triple M by Barni) secured Pole Position for tomorrow’s FIM Superstock 1000cc Cup race in emphatic style by smashing his own outright circuit best lap, set earlier in the weekend, to take top spot by 0.331s. Last year’s winner has been fast all weekend and will be hoping for back to back wins at the Italian venue come race time tomorrow.

Raffaele de Rosa (Althea Racing) moved into provisional Pole before crashing his Ducati. The Italian will start 2nd with Roberto Tamburini (Team Motoxracing), the winner of the opening race of 2015 completing the front row.

Row 2 will see championship leader Lorenzo Savadori (Nuova M2 Racing) and team mate Kevin Calia start from 4th and 5th positions respectively, Calia falling without injury during the session. Kev Coghlan (MRS Yamaha) will start 6th.

Florian Marino (MRS Yamaha), Fabio Massei (EAB Racing Team) and Luca Salvadori (Althea Racing) round out the first three rows on the grid.

Tomorrow’s 14 lap race is scheduled to take place at 1415 local time.
