Dutch hopes lie with Valk and De Boer after 4th row qualifying.

Pole Position for the second FIM Superstock 1000cc race of the season at Assen has been taken by Lorenzo Savadori  (Nuova M2 Racing) who stormed to the top spot courtesy of the best ever STK1000 lap of the legendary Dutch track – 1.36.998, to claim his second Pole Position in a row.

The remaining two places on the front row of the grid for tomorrow’s 14 lap race were claimed by Raffaele de Rosa (Althea Racing) and round one winner Roberto Tamburini (Team MotoxRacing) who left it late to move into contention after a record breaking session that saw the top 4 swap positions on more than a 20 occasions during the 30 minutes.

Row two will see Florian Marino (MRS Yamaha) who fell without injury towards the end of qualifying, Ondrej Jezek (Triple-M by Barni) and Kev Coghlan (MRS Yamaha).

Tomorrow’s race is scheduled to start at 1415 local time.
