Cal Crutchlow has taken his maiden pole position for HM Plant Honda at Oulton Park with team-mate Leon Haslam joining him on the front-row. The 22-year-old rider from Coventry placed his CBR1000RR Fireblade on pole by more than half a second from Ducati’s Shane Byrne in drying conditions around the 2.69-mile Cheshire circuit. Leon suffered a high-side early in the qualifying session, but despite feeling a little second-hand, the 24-year-old from Derbyshire took the final spot on the front-row for tomorrow’s two 18-lap Bennetts British Superbike races.
