??RES Software Hoegee Suzuki's Barry Veneman will start tomorrow's World Supersport Championship race from the front row after setting second-fastest time this afternoon.??

Although Veneman was searching for the right settings of his Suzuki GSX-R600 K8 during the morning session, he showed in the afternoon from the beginning that he was able deal with the fastest riders. ??Team mate Didier Van Keymeulen set a good time with sixth fastest in the morning and in the afternoon secured 10th place on the starting grid.??

Marc Hoegee - Team owner RES Software Hoegee Suzuki:

??"Of course this is a great result which is also a result of the good test on this circuit earlier this season. Last year we didn't test here and we were not able to ride a good race. Now we see that this years test worked out and the results are good this weekend. Again the team worked very hard and with two riders into top 10 we are looking forward to tomorrow's race."??

Barry Veneman:??

"I am happy with my second place on the starting grid, especially when I look back at last year's result. We decided to change some things on the front forks after the free practice this morning and that gave me much more control. I could really push hard during the qualifying practice and I got the right feeling with the circuit. Second place on the starting grid is a good position for tomorrow's race and although this circuit is not one of my favourites, my lap times are good enough to ride in the front."??

Didier Van Keymeulen:

??"It was pretty hard this morning because there were some wet places on the track. In spite of these circumstances I found my rhythm soon and I was able to put in constantly fast lap times. We made some adjustments on the suspension after the free practice but they didn't work out well. During the qualifying session we tried to set it back but we didn't have enough time so I had to ride with some alternative adjustments. At the end of the session I was able to improve my fastest lap time with a new tyre and so I secured 10th place on the starting grid. I am looking forward to tomorrow's race."
