Verdoia’s BCD Yamaha MS Racing teammate, Beatriz Neila, was the only other bLU cRU Challenge rider to secure automatic entry to Sunday’s 11-lap race by qualifying inside the top 30 during today’s split Superpole session. The Spanish rider will line up on the seventh row of the grid having qualified in 21st position.
Italian Jacopo Facco, riding alongside Galang Hendra in the Semakin Di Depan Biblion Motoxracing squad, and the Team Trasimeno pairing of Finn De Bruin and Kevin Sabatucci were forced to compete for the remaining six grid places in this afternoon’s 11-lap Last Chance WorldSSP300 Race.
Second place in the race secured Facco his slot on the grid for the main race, but it was disappointment for De Bruin, who retired from the race after two laps, and Sabatucci, who finished in 16th position.
