Toprak Razgatlioglu earned pole position during FIM Superbike World Championship Superpole qualifying Saturday at Autodrom Most, in the Czech Republic.

Riding his ROKiT BMW Motorrad M 1000 RR on Pirelli control tires, the Turkish star lapped the 2.6-mile (4.2 km) course in 1:30.064. Not only was that fast enough to top the field of 23 riders, it was also fast enough to surpass Razgatlioglu’s own All-Time Lap Record of 1:30.719, which he set earlier in the day in Free Practice Three.

Andrea Iannone was second-fastest and the top Independent Team qualifier with a 1:30.729 on his Team GoEleven Ducati Panigale V4 R.

Alex Lowes claimed the third and final spot on the front row by lapping the course in 1:30.758 on his factory Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR.

American Garrett Gerloff stepped up big on Saturday and qualified eighth overall — and the second-best BMW rider — at 1:31.082 on his Bonovo Action BMW.

American Hayden Gillim, competing as a fill-in rider for the PETRONAS MIE Racing Honda team, qualified 23rd in the 23-rider field with a 1:33.756 in his first-ever event with the team, on Pirelli tires, and at Autodrom Most.
