Huertas smashes the lap record to take pole position

Superpole Highlights
A crash at Turn 1 for Khairul Idham Pawi Bin (PETRONAS MIE Racing Honda) brought out an early red flag but after the delay Adrian Huertas (Aruba.it Racing WorldSSP Team) wasted little time to smash the lap record on his first stint of the session when running resumed. He would eventually improve his time to take pole position with a 1’39.705 lap.

Lucas Mahias (GMT94 Yamaha) and Jorge Navarro (Orelac Racing Verdnatura) qualified on the front row of the grid for the first time this season with their final laps of the session.

Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team), second in the World Championship, will lead off the second row of the grid with Stefano Manzi (Pata Prometeon Ten Kate Racing) qualifying fifth. The top five were separated by just two tenths of a second.

P1 | Adrian Huertas | Aruba.it Racing WorldSSP Team
“Today was really good because this morning I worked on my race pace and this afternoon we were able to break the lap record. It was a really good lap time in Superpole but the points are on Saturday and Sunday so we have to keep pushing. We have to keep working like this. I’ll be racing in another championship next year so I want to leave WorldSSP on a high. We are doing well but there are a lot of incredible riders and we’re all fighting. We need to just keep focused and try and not make mistakes.”
