Ducatis filled the top three places of qualifying with Sylvain Guintoli settling in to his new team in third place behind the Althea Ducatis of Davide Giugliano and Carlos Checa. While the v-twin bikes are slower in the last sector, where the long back straight leads to a tight left hander onto the start/finish straight, the agility of the 1098R comes to play in the mass of corners making up the rest of the track.
It's hard to predict how this will play out tomorrow in Superpole, or indeed on Sunday with the races, but with three Ducatis in the top three today, if the wind isn't sapping their power down the back straight, it looks like this could be the bike to be on.
Results:
