Pata Honda’s Jonathan Rea will start tomorrow’s two eleventh-round World Superbike championship races from the front row of the grid after setting the third fastest time in this afternoon’s Superpole at Magny-Cours in France.
On the second lap with his Pirelli qualifying tyre, the 27-year-old Northern Irishman fired his Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP around the 4.411km Magny-Cours circuit in a time of 1m36.906s, just 0.3s off the pole position time of Tom Sykes.
Rea will line up on the inside of the front row, next to Italian Davide Giugliano, who was second fastest today, as the World Superbike field embarks on two 21-lap races at the French circuit.
Leon Haslam, Rea’s Pata Honda team-mate, was unable to extract the best performance from his qualifying tyre and will start from the fourth row for tomorrow’s races, which go at 10.30 and 13.10 CET.
