Transcript from our live page that was updated throughout the session

  • Last man out now, can Bayliss knock Edwards off ? 1-tenth quicker at first split, lost time in the middle sector, I think Edwards will have it, 1m33.316 for Bayliss, Edwards has pole
  • Edwards out now, 2-tenths under at first split, 6-tenths quicker at 2nd split, Edwards on top - 1m32.767, fantastic lap
  • Xaus warming, head wind now, tail wind all morning, but now we have a head wind for SuperPole, Xaus 2-tenths down on first split,  1m33.954, he also gets pushed back a little further down the grid
  • Bostrom on track, 1-tenth slower at first split, caught up a little at 2nd split, 1m33.715, drops a couple of spots, a slide on to the main straight cost him some time
  • Chili about to start, 2-tenths slower at first split, 1m34.383, Chili drops 5 spots
  • Haga on track, 0.16 under at first split, tiny bit faster at 2nd split, Haga quickest now, 1m33.560
  • Pedercini on track, 1.1 seconds slowed than Hodgson was at the 2nd split, 1m34.909.  Order now stands as Hodgson, Izutsu, Borja, Toseland, Parkes, Pedercini, Martin, Walker, Lavilla, Borciani
  • Lavilla on his, 1.2 seconds behind Hodgson at 2nd split, Lavilla slides down to 2nd last out of the SuperPole 16,
  • Steve Martin on track, 3-tenths slower than Hodgson at the first split but geez is he trying, 1 second slower at 2nd split, 1m34.992, Steve Martin slips back down the grid, from 9th down to 14th at this stage
  • Izutsu starting his lap now, he goes 1-tenth slower than Hodgson
  • Hodgson starting his lap now, 30.255 at first split, 3 tenths under previous fast man Borja, still faster at 2nd split, 1m33.629, Hodgson fastest so far, current standings are Hodgson, Borja, Toseland, Parkes, Walker, Borciani

  • Borciani on track now, 30.631 at split 1, 2nd split was 1m15.2, not a good lap, 1m35.752, Borciani to the back of the top 16
  • Parkes on track and does a huge tyre smoking slide in the 2nd last fast right hander before the straight, I mean mega long, sideways and with smoke, damn I nearly wet my pants it was that awesome, first split he is quicker than the previous pair, slower at the 2nd split though still quicker than Walker, 1m34.685, award for most smoke peeling out from behind the rear tyre definitely goes to Parkes though
