Castrol Honda's Jonathan Rea will be looking to find an answer to his problems in World Superbike morning warm-up at Misano tomorrow after an awful Superpole saw him qualify in 11th place.

The Ballyclare man, who had more near-crashes in the session than a Windows Vista user, said he was pleased when it began to rain this afternoon as he has a real issue with getting on the gas out of corners which was negated by the wet track.

"It’s not been a good day and we were actually quite pleased when the rain came, because it levelled the playing field a little. I only just made it into Superpole in this morning’s second qualifying session because we’ve still got some real issues getting out of the corners here," said Rea.

"I’m having to wait much longer than a lot of others to open the throttle, and that just loses us momentum for the faster parts of the track. It seems to be an electronics issue, but I know the guys are working hard to get the best setting we can find. Of course, I’ll try my best in the races, but we certainly need to find something for warm-up if it turns out dry again tomorrow."
