WorldSSP: Third pole position of the season for Oncu
WorldSSP: A late red flag delayed the confirmation of Can Oncu’s third pole position of the campaign.
Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing set a time of 1’36.755 to lead a Yamaha one-two ahead of Albert Arenas (AS BLU CRU Racing Team). Valentin Debise (EASTROC ZXMOTO Evan Bros Factory) rounded out the front row of the grid.
The second row of the grid sees a trio of Ducati Panigale V2 machines led by Phillip Oettl (Feel Racing WorldSSP Team) ahead of Matteo Ferrari (WRP Racing) and Alessandro Zaccone (Ecosantagata Althea Racing Team). At the previous round Zaccone claimed his first WorldSSP victory while Ferrari had a podium to give the Italian pair momentum ahead of their home round.

The red flag, with just under three minutes remaining, was brought out after a heavy crash for Hector Garzo at Turn 11. The Spaniard, making his debut for Renzi Corse, set the 21st fastest time of the session. Oliver Konig crashed in the early moments of the session while Corentin Perolari and Lucas Mahias also crashed.
Championship contender Jaume Masia (Orelac Racing Verdnatura) set his fastest lap at the chequered flag but it was only good enough to improve to tenth fastest.
P1 – Can Oncu (Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing)
“I’m very happy today because after the Aragon race, to be honest, it was a little bit difficult. I expect it to be a nice race because Debise and his bike are working very well and he is much stronger than last year. Arenas is also doing a very good job, so I expect a great battle.”
