Reigning WorldSBK champion Toprak Razgatlioglu continued his dominance to reign supreme in the Most Superpole.
The Turkish rider finished the session with an impressive 1.30.397s, followed closely by championship rival Nicolo Bulega.
However, both title contenders set even faster laps in their respective final runs, but their lap times were removed due to ignoring yellow flags.
This could change the complexion of the grid for Race 1, scheduled for later on this afternoon.
Danilo Petrucci secured third place for Barni Spark Racing, finishing as the lead independent rider once again.
Alex Lowes secured an impressive fourth for Bimota, and Honda’s Iker Lecuona and GRT Yamaha’s Remy Gardner completed the second row.
Rookie Yari Montella produced seventh place for Barni Spark, as Garrett Gerloff impressed to secure eighth for Kawasaki.
Marc VDS rider Sam Lowes and factory Ducati rider Alvaro Bautista secured ninth and 10th place, respectively.
Andrea Locatelli secured 11th for Pata Maxus Yamaha, ahead of the second Bimota rider of Axel Bassani.
Honda’s Xavi Vierge claimed 13th with six-time champion Jonathan Rea behind, with the leading 14 riders separated by a second.
BMW’s Michael van der Mark qualified in 15th, who lapped marginally quicker than rookie Bahttin Sofuoglu and Bonovo rider Scott Redding.
Ryan Vickers claimed 18th place on the Ducati, before GRT Yamaha rider Dominique Aegerter, Spaniard Tito Rabat and Tarran Mackenzie closed out the final three positions.
