Promising start by Supersport World Champion Cal Crutchlow, let's hope he can carry on where Ben left off! Not bad from Toseland either, first time on this bike and this track.

Also good to see Regis Laconi back on track for the first time since his crash at Kyalami, although all 7 600s were quicker than him.

Yep, there is going to be some great competition next year! I love WSB where you see the top 15 (sometimes) all qualify within 1 second. Makes for some exciting racing.
