WorldSSP300: Matteo Vannucci (PATA AG Motorsport Italia WorldSSP300) ended the session by setting a new lap record on his penultimate lap of the Superpole Session.
The Italian rider claimed the fourth pole position of his career and his first since the Aragon Round 2023.
Championship contenders Carter Thompson (MTM Kawasaki) and Benat Fernandez (Team#109 Retro Traffic Kove) will start on the front row of the grid. The duo set their fastest times during their early laps of the 25 minute session.
Jeffrey Buis (Freudenberg KTM-Paligo Racing) will start from the third row of the grid. The Dutchman was one second off the pace in the session but was one of the few riders who lapped alone throughout. Having been victorious at Aragon on four occasions he’ll be confident of contending in tomorrow’s opening race of the weekend.
