First career pole position for Yari Montella

First Career Pole Position For Yari Montella

Yari Montello (Barni Spark Racing Team) claimed the first Superpole of his WorldSSP career (1’36.876). Montella, race winner at the opening round of the year in Australia, is second in the World Championship.

It was an action-packed session for Championship leader Adrian Huertas (Aruba.it Racing WorldSSP Team). The Spaniard suffered an early crash in the Superpole session but when he returned to the track, he looked like the rider to beat. Unfortunately, a track limits penalty cost him his fastest time and he had to settle for second on the grid

The top three in the championship standings will line-up together on the front row of the grid.

Dutch Round race winner Glenn van Straalen (Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing) crashed during Superpole and qualified in 14th position.

Simone Corsi (Renzi Corse) was the leading Supersport Challenge rider with the Italian qualifying in 11th position.
