Rea secures pole
JONATHAN REA secured provisional pole for tomorrow’s German round of World Superbikes in wet-dry conditions at the Nurburgring.
Rea put in a best lap of 2mins 11.278secs on his Ten Kate Honda to lie just ahead of Tom Sykes and said: “I’ve had only one race win this year but I am ready to step up now.”
Series leader Noriyuki Haga, fit again after a tumble at Donington Park, is fifth fastest as he bids to extend his seven-point lead over Ben Spies, who was back in 13th after a heavy fall.
