2009 World Superbikes Misano QP2 Result - Rain Leaves Times Unchanged

Submitted by Kropotkin on

The rain which had threatened during the World Supersport practice finally started to fall, leaving the track fairly deserted for the most part. Any time set during this session would make no difference for Superpole.

A few brave souls chose to put in a fair number of laps, however, and Troy Corser was the rider among their number who was fastest. The BMW rider was not the only surprise at the top of the wet timesheets: Pedercini Kawasaki's Luca Scassa, a rider who normally doesn't make it into Superpole, was 2nd, ahead of Kawasaki stand-in Jamie Hacking.
