Back to back poles for Veneman

Loris Veneman (MTM Kawasaki) claimed back to back pole positions by dominating the Superpole session with a time of 1’55.399.

The Dutch rider was in great form today to top the times in both Practice and Superpole. Veneman, the winner of both races at the Czech Round, is aiming to become the first rider to win three consecutive WorldSSP300 races

The session was interrupted by a red flag five minutes into the session after a crash involving Ruben Bijman (Team Flembbo-PL Performances) and Dinis Borges (Speed Master Racing Team)

Prior to the red flag Jeffrey Buis (Freudenberg KTM-PALIGO Racing) crashed at Turn 5. The double World Champion finished the session 1.3s slower than the pole position and qualified 18th fastest

Championship leader Inigo Iglesias Bravo (Fusport-RT Motorsport by SKM-Kawasaki) also crashed at Turn 5 after the session resumed. The Kawasaki rider was able to qualify on the third row after his eventful session

“This was the best Friday I’ve ever had. I led Free Practice by almost half a second and I’ve taken pole position. It couldn’t be better. In qualifying, there was a lot of wind, so I had to find some riders to get a slipstream. In the end, it worked out. With this wind, it’s really hard to say what will happen tomorrow but the goal is always to win in WorldSSP300.”
