Qualifying three

Josh Brookes 1'48.490

Tommy Hill 1'48.5254

Tyco Suzuki's Josh Brookes has taken his second British Superbike pole position of the season this afternoon at Snetterton but was only one one-thousandth of a second faster than Michael Laverty's Samsung Honda. The Irishman's last lap was a 1'48.491 compared to Brookes' 1'48.490.

Reigning champ Tommy Hill, who figured at the top of all three sessions, was third quickest and just ahead of WFR Honda's Graeme Gowland. Team-mate Alex Lowes looked like he might oust Gowland with his final lap but lost vital tenths in the final sector. Noriyuki Haga is sixth, this morning's fastest man Shane Byrne seventh and his teamster Stuart Easton rounds out the second row. Luca Scassa is ninth and Tommy Bridewell took tenth after crashing on his third lap.

Qualifying two

Shane Byrne 1'48.814

Tommy Hill 1'48.804

Byrne proved his lap in free practice this morning was far from a one-off, posting the quickest time of the weekend so far but he was only 0.004s ahead of Lowes with Hill chasing hard. The top five men were all in the 1'48s bracket, impressive given Pirelli's softest tyre, the SC0, has been removed from the allocation this weekend.

Scassa hauled himself into the final qualifying session with his final lap, jumping into eighth place which cost WFR Honda's James Westmoreland his place in the top ten. Both Dan Linfoot and Ian Lowry crashed unhurt in the early stages and were relegated.

Qualifying one

Tommy Hill 1'49.191

Tommy Bridewell 1'49.534

Hill set his fastest lap of the weekend so far to top the first session timesheets with Lowry and Bridewell in close attendance. Byrne led early on but was slowly shuffled down the timesheets with Brookes and Lowes right behind him.

At the other end of the sheet, Linfoot and Quigley narrowly escaped the drop zone but it was no such luck for Quigley's GBmoto Honda team-mate Tristan Palmer who ended the session in 21st, just ahead of Gary Mason and Scott Smart, who was the fastest of the Ducati Panigales.
