Nicky Hayden ended the second timed session with the quickest time ahead of Markus Reiterberger on the BMW and Tom Sykes. Davide Giugliano qualified fourth quickest due to his time from the morning's session, the only rider in the top sixteen not to better his time from the first timed session.
Lorenzo Savadori and Anthony West are the two favourites to earn promotion into Superpole two.

I think most people...
... doubted Hayden's overall competitiveness as he moved to SBK, it's great to see he's still got it now that the transition from MotoGP is complete.
Hayden becoming a front runner?
I am a Hayden fan from his motogp days. It would be nice if this was a huge step forward for Hayden to begin consistently fighting for podiums/victory.

Go Nicky!

Give ye olde Fireblade the WFO treatment!
Isn't this the Honda POS that
Isn't this the Honda POS that Rea gave up waiting for a replacement for? Did Honda improve it, or did the rules bring the other bikes back?
Improved Honda
From what I understand, the new rules helped a little bit, but the biggest improvement this year is that Ten Kate spent a lot of time with the bike on the dyno, concentrating on that rather than testing. They needed the extra engine preparation, and it's paid off.
Not to mention two EXCELLENT
Not to mention two EXCELLENT Superbike riders. VdM could perhaps be on a satellite Honda (Rabat's?) next yr, and I would like that. I wonder how much help/investment the factory provided Ten Kate w the motor? Is the team on their own there? They've done much more than expected.
Eager to see the next gen CBR1000 hit the paddock. Out with it Honda!
