Team Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra rider Xavier Simeon qualified second fastest in the European Superstock Championship qualifying today and will start on the front row of the grid . His nearest rival in the championship, Nicola Canepa (Ducati) took pole position with a time of 1:47 197. Davide Giugliano (Kawasaki) was third quickest, with Roy Ten Napel (Yamaha) completing the front row.
Xavi - 2nd, 1:47.538Today was much better then yesterday because I had more grip and the bike’s set-up felt better. Today I could enter the turns faster and so I felt more confident. My team did a really good job for me and now I’m looking forward to the race tomorrow and a big battle. Maybe it will be a fight with Canepa and Giugliano or maybe it will be a fight with just Canepa. If that happens then I am confident that I can beat him because I’ve done that many times this season already. If I have a chance of taking the win, I will do it, but I will not take any chances with the championship at stake.
Weather: Dull, overcast 22C.
