More from a press release issued by WSBK:

Mahias strikes late at Assen for his tenth WorldSSP pole position, shuffling his rival Debise to P2. The ‘Cathedral of Speed’ featured no shortage of drama in WorldSSP’s Tissot Superpole session.

The FIM Supersport World Championship rolled out on the tarmac to begin their Pirelli Dutch Round on Friday afternoon. Friday afternoon featured a treat of a Tissot Superpole session at the venerated TT Assen Circuit, as Lucas Mahias (GMT94 Yamaha) took pole position with the session’s fastest time. Ever so slightly behind Mahias was his countryman and rival Valentin Debise (EASTROC ZXMOTO Factory Evan Bros Racing) on the timesheets in P2, and Albert Arenas (AS BLU CRU Racing Team) took the last spot on the front row in P3. Xavi Cardelus (Cerba Yamaha Racing Team) suffered a crash early in the session at the exit of the final chicane. His bike tumbled across the racing line, causing a red flag to clean up fluids on the track as well as provide him medical attention before he was taken to the medical centre for further attention.

FLYING FRENCHMEN: Mahias and Debise make it a French 1-2

After the red flag restart, 34 minutes remained, and it was Lucas Mahias who made the session his own with a late 1’36.490s to take his tenth WorldSSP pole, his first pole since Most last season. Valentin Debise set himself and his ZXMOTO manufacturer up for continued success after a dominant trip to Portimao as he landed P2 on the session thanks to a 1’36.561s time. Albert Arenas takes P3 at the end of the 45-minute session, landing a strong 1’36.572s time to propel him into the thick of the fight at the front on Saturday afternoon.

 

 BOOTH-AMOS P4: Rides in P1 early

Tom Booth-Amos (PTR Triumph Factory Racing) The Englishman led the session after the red flag; unfortunately, he saw his 1’36.600s time fall down to P4 by the chequered flag. Can Oncu (Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing) will see lights out from the middle of the second row thanks to a 1’36.600s time. His real work still remains however, as he took pole at Portimao as well, yet in the last round, he wasn’t able to convert his Race 1 pole into points. Alessandro Zaccone (Ecosantagata Althea Racing Team) made a late 1’36.646s run across the line, sneaking up onto the second row for P6.

 

CASADEI, JESPERSEN, AEGERTER BACK IN THE FIGHT: Season-best result for all three

Mattia Casadei (D34G WorldSSP Racing Team) moved up to the third row for the first time this season after a pedestrian pair of prior rounds. His time of 1’36.658s landed him P7 for his best qualification so far this season. Philipp Oettl (Feel Racing WorldSSP Team) took another rock-solid result as his 1’36.667ss time sends him to the middle of the third row for P8. Jaume Masia (Orelac Racing VerdNatura) snagged a P9 finish to start on the fourth row with a time of 1’36.872s, tailed by Danish rider Simon Jespersen (EAB Racing Team), a tenth behind him in P10. Dominique Aegerter (Kawasaki WorldSSP Team) landed a critical Superpole result at Assen thanks to a late 1’37.045s, his P11 arriving like rain in a drought to the Swiss rider who has had a rough start to his WorldSSP return so far.

 

The top six from the WorldSSP Tissot Superpole session, full results here!

More from a press release issued by WorldSBK:

 

Fastest on Friday: Bulega heads WorldSBK running ahead of Baldassarri, Petrucci and Vierge in the top five. The #11 topped both Friday sessions in WorldSBK at Assen to lead the way heading into Saturday’s action.

Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) topped both MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship sessions on Friday at the TT Circuit Assen as he looks to extend his winning run. The #11 was one of only two riders in the 1’39s bracket on the opening day of the Pirelli Dutch Round, as he topped the order ahead of Lorenzo Baldassarri (Team GoEleven) and Iker Lecuona (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati).

BULEGA LEADS THE WAY: Ducati lock out the top three positions

As he was in Free Practice 1, Bulega was also quickest in Free Practice 2 ahead of teammate Lecuona. The #11 set a 1’33.687s to tighten his grip on the top spot, as he fended off a late challenge from Baldassarri. ‘Balda’ set a 1’33.963s to join ‘Bulegas’ in the 1’39s club as he leapfrogged Lecuona into P2. Lecuona was able to finish in P3 with a 1’34.017s as Ducati locked out the top three positions. Sam Lowes (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team), with an extra few weeks of recovery on his left wrist and is now feeling considerably better, finished in sixth. A trio of Ducati riders rounded out the top ten with Barni Spark Racing Team duo Alvaro Bautista leading Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team), with Alerto Surra in tenth. Tommy Bridewell (Superbike Advocates) finished in 14th ahead of Tarran Mackenzie (MGM Optical Express Racing) in 15th; the pair were just over a second away from Bulega’s time. Following the latest concession checkpoint, Ducati have been hit with a 0.5kg/h fuel flow restriction.

MIXED DAY AT BMW: Two FP1 crashes, Petrucci finishes fourth

After claiming P4 in FP1, Danilo Petrucci (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) finished in the same position in FP2 and the combined classification thanks to his afternoon time. In the morning session, the #9 crashed at Turn 16 in the final few minutes but responded in the afternoon to post a 1’34.092s to finish in second, just four tenths away from Bulega. Teammate Miguel Oliveira was further down the order, in 11th, after posting a 1’34.551s; he also crashed in FP1, at Turn 10.

ALEX LOWES LEADS BIMOTA: P7 for the #22, Bassani outside the top ten

Like Ducati, Bimota have also been hit by a 0.5kg/h fuel flow rate limitation following the concession checkpoint. Both KB998 Rimini riders were in the top ten for the majority of the session, with Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) in P6 after posting a 1’34.189s, 0.563s off Bulega’s time. Axel Bassani (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) dropped down the order in the closing stages as other riders improved, finishing in 12th place.

VIERGE LEAVES IT LATE: Fifth place for the Spanish star

Xavi Vierge (Pata Maxus Yamaha) continued to be the fastest Yamaha rider as he took P5 on Friday at Assen, posting a 1’34.097s in the final 10 minutes of FP2 to improve his lap time and secure a top-five finish. Teammate Andrea Locatelli finished in 13th with a 1’34.676s, with Remy Gardner (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team) in 16th and teammate Stefano Manzi in 20th. Wildcard Twan Smits (Team Apreco) had a strong day on his WorldSBK debut, finishing in 18th, with a slight blot on his copybook when he had a Turn 8 crash in FP2 in the final 10 minutes of FP2. His best time was a 1’35.121s. Elsewhere, Bahattin Sofuoglu (Motoxracing WorldSBK Team) and teammate Mattia Rato rounded out the WorldSBK field; Sofuoglu was the only rider on the grid to not improve his lap time in the afternoon compared to FP1.

GERLOFF AIMING FOR MORE: Difficult start for Kawasaki

Garrett Gerloff (Kawasaki WorldSBK Team) endured a more difficult day than he would have liked at Assen, finishing in 17thplace with a 1’35.098s. However, the #31 has shown good race pace in the first two rounds of the season and will aim to display that again on Saturday.

REA 19TH, CHANTRA 21ST: Tricky day for Honda

Jonathan Rea (Honda HRC) finished as the lead Honda rider as he continued to stand in for the still-recovering Jake Dixon. The six-time Champion finished in 19th place with a 1’35.124s to lead Honda’s charge, with Somkiat Chantra (Honda HRC) two places behind the #65. The Thai rider set a 1’35.253s as he finished in 21st place.

More from a press release issued by WSBK:

Mahias strikes late at Assen for his tenth WorldSSP pole position, shuffling his rival Debise to P2. The ‘Cathedral of Speed’ featured no shortage of drama in WorldSSP’s Tissot Superpole session.

The FIM Supersport World Championship rolled out on the tarmac to begin their Pirelli Dutch Round on Friday afternoon. Friday afternoon featured a treat of a Tissot Superpole session at the venerated TT Assen Circuit, as Lucas Mahias (GMT94 Yamaha) took pole position with the session’s fastest time. Ever so slightly behind Mahias was his countryman and rival Valentin Debise (EASTROC ZXMOTO Factory Evan Bros Racing) on the timesheets in P2, and Albert Arenas (AS BLU CRU Racing Team) took the last spot on the front row in P3. Xavi Cardelus (Cerba Yamaha Racing Team) suffered a crash early in the session at the exit of the final chicane. His bike tumbled across the racing line, causing a red flag to clean up fluids on the track as well as provide him medical attention before he was taken to the medical centre for further attention.

FLYING FRENCHMEN: Mahias and Debise make it a French 1-2

After the red flag restart, 34 minutes remained, and it was Lucas Mahias who made the session his own with a late 1’36.490s to take his tenth WorldSSP pole, his first pole since Most last season. Valentin Debise set himself and his ZXMOTO manufacturer up for continued success after a dominant trip to Portimao as he landed P2 on the session thanks to a 1’36.561s time. Albert Arenas takes P3 at the end of the 45-minute session, landing a strong 1’36.572s time to propel him into the thick of the fight at the front on Saturday afternoon.

 

 BOOTH-AMOS P4: Rides in P1 early

Tom Booth-Amos (PTR Triumph Factory Racing) The Englishman led the session after the red flag; unfortunately, he saw his 1’36.600s time fall down to P4 by the chequered flag. Can Oncu (Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing) will see lights out from the middle of the second row thanks to a 1’36.600s time. His real work still remains however, as he took pole at Portimao as well, yet in the last round, he wasn’t able to convert his Race 1 pole into points. Alessandro Zaccone (Ecosantagata Althea Racing Team) made a late 1’36.646s run across the line, sneaking up onto the second row for P6.

 

CASADEI, JESPERSEN, AEGERTER BACK IN THE FIGHT: Season-best result for all three

Mattia Casadei (D34G WorldSSP Racing Team) moved up to the third row for the first time this season after a pedestrian pair of prior rounds. His time of 1’36.658s landed him P7 for his best qualification so far this season. Philipp Oettl (Feel Racing WorldSSP Team) took another rock-solid result as his 1’36.667ss time sends him to the middle of the third row for P8. Jaume Masia (Orelac Racing VerdNatura) snagged a P9 finish to start on the fourth row with a time of 1’36.872s, tailed by Danish rider Simon Jespersen (EAB Racing Team), a tenth behind him in P10. Dominique Aegerter (Kawasaki WorldSSP Team) landed a critical Superpole result at Assen thanks to a late 1’37.045s, his P11 arriving like rain in a drought to the Swiss rider who has had a rough start to his WorldSSP return so far.

More from a press release issued by WorldSBK:

 

Fastest on Friday: Bulega heads WorldSBK running ahead of Baldassarri, Petrucci and Vierge in the top five. The #11 topped both Friday sessions in WorldSBK at Assen to lead the way heading into Saturday’s action.

Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) topped both MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship sessions on Friday at the TT Circuit Assen as he looks to extend his winning run. The #11 was one of only two riders in the 1’39s bracket on the opening day of the Pirelli Dutch Round, as he topped the order ahead of Lorenzo Baldassarri (Team GoEleven) and Iker Lecuona (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati).

BULEGA LEADS THE WAY: Ducati lock out the top three positions

As he was in Free Practice 1, Bulega was also quickest in Free Practice 2 ahead of teammate Lecuona. The #11 set a 1’33.687s to tighten his grip on the top spot, as he fended off a late challenge from Baldassarri. ‘Balda’ set a 1’33.963s to join ‘Bulegas’ in the 1’39s club as he leapfrogged Lecuona into P2. Lecuona was able to finish in P3 with a 1’34.017s as Ducati locked out the top three positions. Sam Lowes (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team), with an extra few weeks of recovery on his left wrist and is now feeling considerably better, finished in sixth. A trio of Ducati riders rounded out the top ten with Barni Spark Racing Team duo Alvaro Bautista leading Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team), with Alerto Surra in tenth. Tommy Bridewell (Superbike Advocates) finished in 14th ahead of Tarran Mackenzie (MGM Optical Express Racing) in 15th; the pair were just over a second away from Bulega’s time. Following the latest concession checkpoint, Ducati have been hit with a 0.5kg/h fuel flow restriction.

MIXED DAY AT BMW: Two FP1 crashes, Petrucci finishes fourth

After claiming P4 in FP1, Danilo Petrucci (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) finished in the same position in FP2 and the combined classification thanks to his afternoon time. In the morning session, the #9 crashed at Turn 16 in the final few minutes but responded in the afternoon to post a 1’34.092s to finish in second, just four tenths away from Bulega. Teammate Miguel Oliveira was further down the order, in 11th, after posting a 1’34.551s; he also crashed in FP1, at Turn 10.

ALEX LOWES LEADS BIMOTA: P7 for the #22, Bassani outside the top ten

Like Ducati, Bimota have also been hit by a 0.5kg/h fuel flow rate limitation following the concession checkpoint. Both KB998 Rimini riders were in the top ten for the majority of the session, with Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) in P6 after posting a 1’34.189s, 0.563s off Bulega’s time. Axel Bassani (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) dropped down the order in the closing stages as other riders improved, finishing in 12th place.

VIERGE LEAVES IT LATE: Fifth place for the Spanish star

Xavi Vierge (Pata Maxus Yamaha) continued to be the fastest Yamaha rider as he took P5 on Friday at Assen, posting a 1’34.097s in the final 10 minutes of FP2 to improve his lap time and secure a top-five finish. Teammate Andrea Locatelli finished in 13th with a 1’34.676s, with Remy Gardner (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team) in 16th and teammate Stefano Manzi in 20th. Wildcard Twan Smits (Team Apreco) had a strong day on his WorldSBK debut, finishing in 18th, with a slight blot on his copybook when he had a Turn 8 crash in FP2 in the final 10 minutes of FP2. His best time was a 1’35.121s. Elsewhere, Bahattin Sofuoglu (Motoxracing WorldSBK Team) and teammate Mattia Rato rounded out the WorldSBK field; Sofuoglu was the only rider on the grid to not improve his lap time in the afternoon compared to FP1.

GERLOFF AIMING FOR MORE: Difficult start for Kawasaki

Garrett Gerloff (Kawasaki WorldSBK Team) endured a more difficult day than he would have liked at Assen, finishing in 17thplace with a 1’35.098s. However, the #31 has shown good race pace in the first two rounds of the season and will aim to display that again on Saturday.

REA 19TH, CHANTRA 21ST: Tricky day for Honda

Jonathan Rea (Honda HRC) finished as the lead Honda rider as he continued to stand in for the still-recovering Jake Dixon. The six-time Champion finished in 19th place with a 1’35.124s to lead Honda’s charge, with Somkiat Chantra (Honda HRC) two places behind the #65.
