13th career pole position for Barrier
Reigning Champion Sylvain Barrier (BMW Motorrad GoldBet) will start tomorrow's two FIM Superstock 1000 Cup races at Silverstone from pole position, as the Frenchman topped the timesheets in Qualifying 2 courtesy of a 2'07.833 seconds lap-time, shattering the previous record held by Danilo Petrucci (2011). This was the 13th pole position by the Oyonnax-born rider.
Barni Racing Ducati duo of Niccolò Canepa and Eddi La Marra, eager to give some hard time to the Frenchman, will move off from second and third place respectively despite a nine tenths gap, while Jeremy Guarnoni (MRS Kawasaki), Lorenzo Savadori (Team Pedercini Kawasaki) and Romain Lanusse (Team MRS Kawasaki) will line-up on the second row on the grid.
