Javi Fores takes pole position at the debut of the Stock Extreme CEV at Catalunya

The 2010 Spanish Speedway Championship makes its debut at the Circuit de Catalunya, as the new Stock Extreme category also makes its début, and in it Javi Fores has taken pole position with a time of 1:45.775, set in the first qualifying practice session at the Catalan circuit.

The rider from BMW Motorrad Competición has been at the front in both practice sessions, so he stands out as the big favourite for tomorrow’s race, although we’ll see what happens in the first round of the Stock Extreme.

Behind Fores is his teammate, Enrique Rocamora, who finished almost half a second off the pole sitter’s time, so tomorrow he will have plenty of work ahead to keep pace with Fores, and also plenty of work behind him, since Javi Del Amor is a tricky rider who will start from third place and go all out.

The rider from Ducati Barcelona SRT finished almost a second off the best time, and he was unable to take to the track for the second practice session due to a fault with his red bullet, which we hope he can resolve for the race.

Completing the front row of the grid is Santi Barragán, who has got the better of Del Amor in reverse, since the rider from Extremadura Junior Team was unable to take part in the first qualifying session after being excluded for not attending the mandatory briefing (scrutineering) on Friday afternoon, so he had to work hard in the second session to set a good time, and he can be satisfied to start from the front row.

On the second row we have Alberto López on the latest BMW Motorrad, followed by David Tirado, Julián Mazuecos and Adrián Bonastre, four riders who are certainly capable of giving the leaders a hard time, but not only them, since any rider could produce a surprise, such as the Kawasaki Ninja Cup champion, Kyle David Smith, or Ferran Casas.

We will keep a close eye on the Stock Extreme.
