Tyco Suzuki's Guy Martin has bagged pole position for tomorrow's Dundrod 150 Superbike race even after a brush with a touring rider saw his reflexes tested.
The Lincolnshire rider encountered the slower man while unsighted on the approach to Deer Leap but fortunately was able to avoid an incident.
“The team did a great job getting me out on track nice and early and it was steady away boy. We never had to make one change to the Superbike all day from our base setting and we had no real issues apart from that scare with the touring rider," said Martin.
"The GSX-R600 also felt mint and we were top of the qualifying until the final lap. All good so far, we just need conditions to be either wet or dry and not in between so we can get on with it tomorrow.”
Martin will have William Dunlop next to him on the grid with Bruce Anstey and Michael Dunlop completing the front row. He is fourth on the Supersport grid and will have both Dunlops, and Dean Harrison to contend with.
