In a red flagged Superpole session Loris Veneman (MTM Kawasaki) claimed his first pole position in WorldSSP300.

The red flag came out with just over two minutes remaining in the session following a crash involving five riders. Of the crashers the highest qualifier was Marco Gaggi with the Team BrCorse rider qualifying third fastest. Race 1 will be the 20 year old Italian’s first front row start in the class

One event rider Carter Thompson (Fusport-RT Motorsport by SKM-Kawasaki) stunned the field with his speed on Friday. The Australian was second fastest in Free Practice and qualified in second position too. It was an assured performance on his debut

Championship leader Inigo Iglesias Bravo (Fusport-RT Motorsport by SKM-Kawasaki) ended the Superpole session sixth fastest

P1 | Loris Veneman | MTM Kawasaki
“The first session was really about trying to get a feel for the bike and to find my rhythm. In the Superpole, I went with Mirko [Gennai], and it worked out really well. We could ride pretty fast lap times together and I knew I had a good lap. I’m really happy with pole position and it’s also important important for me mentally. I’m much happier now. I’m ready for the race and I was able to set some fast laps on my own. I believe I can win the race.”
