Italian Lorenzo Savadori (Team Pedercini Kawasaki) has claimed his second career Pole Position and his second of the 2014 campaign to edge championship leader Leandro Mercado (Barni Racing Team) at the Misano World Circuit this afternoon.

Just 0.042s separate the pair ahead of tomorrow’s 15 lap race with Savadori’s compatriot Fabio Massei (EAB Racing Ducati) once again on the front row in a close 3rd.

Row two comprises Ondrej Jezek (Barni Racing Team), wildcard and former WSBK rider Federico Sandi (Team Motoxracing) and Federico D’Annunzio (FDA Racing Team) who claimed his best ever grid position in 6th.
