Superpole Aragon: Guintoli borders on the feat !

Only 14th in time on Friday, Sylvain Guintoli had to go through the repechage (SP1) to play the final phase of the Superpole (SP2) … which he almost won!

Only 14th in time on Friday, Sylvain Guintoli had to go through the repechage (SP1) to play the final phase of the Superpole (SP2) … which he almost won! Only Tom Sykes, aka Mister Superpole, spun faster.

The fastest rider at the end of the first day, Tom Sykes confirmed his great form this Saturday morning by completing the 5 km (and 77 meters) of the Aragon circuit in 1 ‘49.374. The Ninja n ° 66 thus erases from the shelves Leon Haslam’s record: 1 ‘49,664 last year on Aprilia.

At the same time, "Major Tom" obtained his second pole position of the year, after that won at Phillip Island. But what Site and its readers – who, as everyone knows, are a little more patriotic than the others – remember above all, is that it deprives Sylvain Guintoli of a genuine feat. !

Late on his little comrades on Friday evening (1.3 seconds in sight, it’s starting to do), the No. 50 of the official Yamaha team reacted very well this morning: by securing second place in Superpole 1 behind Jordi Torres , the Frenchie reached Superpole 2…

Our 2014 champion thus found the ten fastest drivers in the aggregate of two Friday free practices, automatically qualified for SP2. During this final session, Sylvain increased the pace on his R1 again and entered his name at the top of the list 15 seconds from the checkered flag..

Finally beaten by two tenths of a second by "Mister Superpole" Himself, Sylvain Guintoli can be satisfied and proud of his second place on the grid. Congratulations also to his teammate Alex Lowes who completes the first row of this Spanish grid.

The fourth and last driver to drop below the 1 ’50 mark, Chaz Davies will be one to watch closely in the race … whether you are a spectator or a driver! Jonathan Rea and Davide Giugliano, whom "Chazie" is ahead of in second row, have an interest in staying in touch: the Welshman has always driven very well in Aragon.

Seventh on the only F4 entered by MV Agusta’s racing department, Leon Camier is – just a little – less than a second from his compatriot Sykes. He will have a lot to do this Saturday noon (first round!) And tomorrow Sunday (second round) to stay ahead of Jordi Torres and Xavi Fores, supported by their public.

Author of the Superpole in Thailand, Michael van den Mark made a mistake in SP2 and "fell" to 11th place, behind his teammate Nicky Hayden and ahead of Superstock 1000 champion Lorenzo Savadori. Ninth and tenth in SP1, Sylvain Barrier and Matthieu Lussiana will start from 19th and 20th places.
