@DamoCudlin Put n awesome lap together that pushed me 9th and into Superpole. Got a good draft that helped mask our speed issue.

@OnTheThrottleTV Oh yeah, Taylor knapp beat Eslick and barnes to be the only Buell in superpole

@OnTheThrottleTV My phone is dying. Supersport leaders are Parker, Mercado, Nash, Day, Prince. Muust sign off and charge. 15 min left in SS prac

@23race Superpole Results: Mladin, Young, Hayes, May, Bostrom, Pegram, Yates, Hodgson, Holden, Hayden.

@Meligirl13 24th in first crack at qualifying... Wonder if it'll be dry tomorrow.

@DamoCudlin Rode like a brainless cowboy in Superpole, horrible lap. Still that's the beauty of it, can't go further back then 10th.10th it is then.

@chazdavies Well that was a poor superpole from me. Found a false neutral and it killed my lap. 6th on grid so could be worse. Rain tomorrow???

@23race Btw today is Geoff May's birthday. Be sure to wish the #54 a good one!

@DamoCudlin Apparently the Erion bikes have been pinged 4 using rocket fuel. Didn't think it was Jemkes cologne I could smell...

@chazdavies Mmmkay, make that 4th on the grid. I hear Peris&Zemke have been disqualified.

@hayes131 Pretty good first day. Starting P3. Gonna be chilly tomorrow, brrrrrrrrr...

@MatMladin todays Sprpole went well. somehow a few of the bikes have picked up a lot of accelleration. I wonder how. Far 2 big an improvement. Protest?
