From a Superside press release:

Sidecar World Champion Steve Webster qualified fastest for tomorrow’s race, held in conjunction with the Superbike World Championship event at Oschersleben, Germany.

Points leader Klaus Klaffenbock, who was unable to make an impression in yesterday’s first qualifying session because of engine trouble, bounced back today to finish fourth-fastest in Saturday-morning qualifying for the seventh round of the Championship.

Klaffenbock and Webster, who shaved half a second off yesterday’s time, are running neck-and-neck at the top of the points standings.

But they both know that it will be difficult to have it their own way this weekend as Steve Abbott poses a major threat, having finished all three sessions in second place.

Jorg Steinhausen completed the front row on home territory by claiming third in the dying seconds of the sunny session.

British wildcards and multiple TT winners, Rob Fisher and Rick Long, dropped almost four seconds to qualify in sixth position.

Qualifying Results:

1. Webster/Woodhead, 1:32.428
2. Abbott/Biggs, 1:33.077
3. Steinhausen/Hopkinson, 1:33.885
4. Klaffenbock/Parzer, 1:34.538
5. Hanks/Biggs, 1:35.495
6. Fisher/Long, 1:35.792
7. Guy/Peach, 1:35.842
8. Muldoon/Crone, 1:36.823
9. Schroder/Waffler, 1:36.963
10. Van Gils/Van Gils, 1:37.078
