British Superbike regulars Neil Hodgson and John Reynolds, both Ducati mounted, took the two top spots in qualifying for tomorrow’s final round of the WSB championship at Brands Hatch, England. A damp Superpole session certainly favored the locals, while the WSB stars tiptoed their way to lower qualifying positions.
With Haga’s punishment now final (see our article earlier this week), Honda’s Colin Edwards rode to third spot on the grid secure in the knowledge he is the new champion.
Aprilia’s Troy Corser, who was quickest during the dry, regular qualifying sessions, fell back to sixth during Superpole.
