First Career Pole For MahendraSuperpole Highlights
Aldi Mahendra (Team BrCorse) left it until the final seconds to set the pace during an action packed Superpole session. The Yamaha rider claimed his first career pole position with a time of 1’52.513.

Mirko Gennai (MTM Kawasaki), winner of the last two races in the class, qualified on the front row after a last gasp lap that saw him move up from the seventh row at the end of the 25 minute session.

Double WorldSSP300 champion Jeffrey Buis (Freudenberg KTM-PALIGO Racing) will start from the front row of the grid for the first time in 2024. The Dutch rider missed out on the pole position by just over one tenth of a second.

Championship leader Loris Veneman (MTM Kawasaki) qualified on the third row of the grid. The 17 year old holds a ten point advantage over Ingio Iglesias (Fusport-RT Motorsport by SKM-Kawasaki) who qualified in fourth position.

“I focused on finding the best setup in the morning. This is my first time at Magny-Cours in the WorldSSP300 class so it’s been a challenge to understand how to manage the gearing and suspension. During the Superpole session I just pushed hard! I was able to take pole position and for tomorrow I’ll do my best. I’ll try to break away and go for a solo run. We’ll see how it goes.”
