After two scorching 45 minute sessions, former champion Kenan Sofuoglu (Mahi Racing Team India) heads into tomorrow’s World Supersport FP3 and sole qualifying session at the top of the combined standings despite a late surge from the current 2014 championship leader Michael vd Mark (Pata Honda World Supersport Team).

With only the Dutchman improving this afternoon from the top six riders after FP1, the times from the earlier session which was held in slightly cooler conditions set the benchmark.

Sofuoglu therefore leads his young rival by 0.039s with Misano winner Jules Cluzel (MV Agusta Reparto Corse) a close third.

Jack Kennedy (CIA Insurance Honda) impressed in fourth ahead of Kev Coghlan (DMC-Panavto Yamaha) and the second Pata Honda of Lorenzo Zanetti who rounded out the top six.

Massimo Roccoli had a positive day aboard the second factory MV Agusta machine, finishing 7th overall just ahead of Roberto Rolfo (Go Eleven Kawasaki) who was the only other rider in the top eight apart from Van Der Mark to improve this afternoon.
