Championship leader heads them up again

Carlos Checa (Althea Racing Ducati) put in a 1 minute 58.315 second lap on a drying track to take his fourth Tissot Superpole win of the 2011 season and give himself the best possible starting slot for raceday on Monday.

Only just behind was Jakub Smrz (Effenbert-Liberty Ducati), deposed by Checa with no time left to go faster. Yamaha World Superbike team-mate Marco Melandri and Eugene Laverty completed the front row, mastering the damp conditions well when it counted most.

The second row is headed by Sylvain Guintoli, Smrz's team-mate, with the top official BMW rider on show Troy Corser going sixth. Late faller in Superpole 3, Max Biaggi, was seventh for Aprilia and impressive BMW Motorrad Italia Superbike rider Ayrton Badovini was eighth.
