For a long while Tom Sykes seemed to be ruling this afternoon’s QP1 at the iconic circuit of Nurburgring, after shaving off a little more than nine tenths of second from his FP1 lap time, only the Kawasaki rider lost the top position when Chaz Davies, on a very hot last lap, edged him out by a mere 0.017s as the BMW rider showed off his skills on the circuit that gave him his first World Superbike victory last year.
It was another tight session with eleven riders packed into less than one second.
Michel Fabrizio was once again the fastest Aprilia rider as he was third and just one tenth adrift from the BMW Goldbet rider. Leon Camer had a big improvement as he jumped from seventh to fourth and three tenths from the top of the timesheets and he was followed by Jonathan Rea and Aprilia’s Sylvain Guintoli.
Loris Baz dropped to seventh, as he lead Leon Haslam and Eugene Laverty who were finally able to break into the top ten in 8th and 9th, while Marco Melandri closed out the top ten.
Carlos Checa crashed out at turn 8, the Dunlop Kurve, on his first lap out leaving him with no recorded lap time and the risk of not taking part in Saturday’s Superpole, while Davide Giugliano binned his Aprilia at turn 4, but at least he did it after recording the 12th best time of the day.
