In Superpole 3 Tom Sykes (Kawasaki Racing Team) went over 0.3 seconds faster than the existing track best with a 1 minute 27.716 seconds lap that gave him his fourth Tissot-Superpole win of 2012. Close behind was his fellow Englishman Leon Haslam (BMW Motorrad Motorsport), the only other rider inside the 1’27 bracket. Haslam’s team-mate Marco Melandri was third and the front row for tomorrow’s races was completed by Max Biaggi (Aprilia Racing), who came good after some challenging times in earlier practice sessions.
