Saturday’s SX2 SuperPole session was a hard-fought affair as four titans of 250cc competition clashed in a single-lap shootout to decide who would secure the highly coveted #1 gate pick and an additional five World Championship points.
But after experiencing a resurgence in overall Qualifying, it was McElrath who came out on top again, taking pole position by more than half a second from team-mate Thompson with a 53.861s run – the fastest SX2 lap of the night. Lopes followed Thompson in third, with Desprey in fourth.
