It was a hectic Tissot Superpole session for the FIM Supersport 300 World Championship which had everything, with Loris Veneman (MTM Kawasaki) storming to an impressive maiden pole position at the Autodrom Most. The #7 set an impressive 1’46.137, which was good enough to hold onto P1 in the latter stages of the red-flagged Superpole session.

FRONT ROW: Thompson leaps to P2

It was a frantic start to the session with lap times dropping and Veneman leading in the early stages, consistently improving throughout Superpole. Veneman had a 0.186s advantage over the field and will start alongside replacement rider, Carter Thompson (Fusport-RT Motorsport by SKM-Kawasaki), who continues to impress the field after finishing in second position. Meanwhile, rounding off the front row was Marco Gaggi (Team BrCorse), who starts Race 1 as the top Yamaha after an eventful session.

SEABRIGHT IMPROVES LATE: #47 starts ahead of Iglesias

Heading the second row was Mirko Gennai (MTM Kawasaki), continuing to look strong at Most, finishing ahead of the Fenton Seabright. The #47 was one of the few riders who improved their time on the final lap after the red flag. Joining them to round off the second row of the grid was Inigo Iglesias (Fusport-RT Motorsports by SKM-Kawasaki), who was less than fourth-tenth adrift from pole position.

DRAMA FOR BUIS: P10 for the #1 after a crash with Pratama

Pepe Osuna (DEZA-BOX 77 Racing Team) took seventh, heading the third row of the grid ahead of Galang Hendra Pratama (ProGP NitiRacing), who also suffered a crash late in Superpole. The #56 was ahead of Marc Garcia (KOVE Racing Team) in ninth and Jeffrey Buis (Freudenberg KTM-PALIGO Racing), who took the final spot inside the top 10 after an earlier crash on the entry to Turn 1 with Team BrCorse’s Aldi Mahendra, who starts from P12.

RED FLAG: Session restarted with two minutes to go

It was a Superpole full of drama with Bruno Ieraci (Team ProDina Kawasaki) suffering from technical issues early on, stopping at the side of the circuit with less than 20 minutes to go. Later in the session, there would be a crash at Turn 15 involving David Salvador (MS Racing), Kevin Fontainha (Yamaha AD78 FIM LA by MS Racing), Ivan Bolano (DEZA-BOX 77 Racing Team), Gaggi and Pratama – bringing out a brief red flag. The session would be restarted with over 2 minutes left on the clock.
