Qualifying three
Leon Camier 1'14.913
James Ellison 1'15.252
Gary Mason 1'15.351

Airwaves Yamaha's Leon Camier cruised to pole position at Thruxton this afternoon by repeating his free practice form and being the only man to get inside the 1'14s bracket.

Team-mate James Ellison was second quickest on a 1'15.252, four-tenths of a second in arrears but the big shock of the session was Quay Garage Honda man Gary Mason, who set a lap good enough for third on his first flyer.

Worx Suzuki's Michael Rutter takes his first front-row start of the season as he stands in for the injured Sylvain Guintoli. HM Plant Honda's Glen Richards is at the head of row two with the Hydrex Honda pair of Karl Harris and Stuart Easton next along, the Scot being just six-tenths off the pace.

Josh Brookes and Simon Andrews, who joined the session very late, occupy the first two places on row three but the top ten are only covered by 0.845 of a second.

Qualifying two
Leon Camier 1'15.195
Karl Harris 1'15.572
Simon Andrews 1'15.600

Camier did the least amount of laps, only circulating four times before pitting in, but the field closed up on the Kent man with the next seven riders all only around half a second slower.

Andrews has either found a setting in the interval or has swapped bikes as he stormed to second place with nine minutes left, only to be knocked down to third by old rival Harris three minutes later.

Lowry was a late addition, coming onto the track with five minutes remaining, but he immediately put himself in sixth and was only knocked down one place by Ellison. Superbike Cup man Mason took the last position and both the Motorpoint Yamahas were knocked out.

Leon Camier 1'15.026
Stuart Easton 1'15.581
Karl Harris 1'15.634

In his characteristically laid-back style, Camier blitzed the field with his first flying lap and put in another one which still would have been at the top of the timesheet before Tristan Palmer lobbed it, bringing out the red flags. Palmer has, apparently, broken his arm.

Easton and Harris battled for the second spot but neither could get within half a second of Camier's time. The Scot just won out with two minutes left as Harris deposed the fast-improving Lowry who found himself in the 1'15s bracket for the first time this weekend.

Rutter was holding on to third early on the session, but dropped behind Ellison who must be wondering what his team-mate has been eating since Donington Park.

Front Row Riders Comments
Leon Camier - Airwaves Yamaha"We've been pretty fast all weekend, I am a bit disappointed with the time to be hones.  We changed nothing, the wind's picked up a bit, I was expecting a better time, but yes it's good.  I am looking forward to the race, just got to get a good start" 
James Ellison - Airwaves Yamaha "We've been struggling and the plan was to get a front row, but in the back of mind I wasn't sure.  I was really pushing it, the team were really working hard and Leon's been great with helping me out, a lot of thanks to him.  We managed to pull it off."

Michael Rutter - Worx Crescent Suzuki "This is awesome for Worx Suzuki, I am shocked to be here and to be racing for Suzuki to be honest.  I went out and tried my hardest, shocked really.  I love this circuit, it's a proper race circuit, just got to hang in there in the race, but anything can appen in racing."
