2009 Nurburgring WSS FP1 Result - Crutchlow Picks Up Where He Left Off

With the Nurburgring track starting to dry out a little during practice for the World Supersport class, Yamaha's Cal Crutchlow was back with a bang after the extended summer break. The Briton led from the start and encountered only brief opposition from Ten Kate's Kenan Sofuoglu, setting the fastest time by three tenths of a second. Sofuoglu was the only man capable of getting close to Crutchlow in the tricky conditions, the rest of the field being nearly 2 seconds back. The competition for 3rd was tough, with Triumph's Garry McCoy coming out on top, ahead of Michele Pirro and Mark Aitchison. Eugene Laverty, the only real threat to Crutchlow's title hopes, could manage only the 9th fastest time, over three and a quarter seconds off Crutchlow's time.
