History was made in the Tissot Superpole for FIM Supersport 300 World Championship as Bahattin Sofuoglu (Biblion Motoxracing Yamaha WorldSSP300) claimed his and Turkey’s first pole position in WorldSSP300, finishing the session more than six tenths clear of the rest of the field as he asserted his pace in Superpole.
