Crutchlow secures Superpole at record pace

Cal Crutchlow (Yamaha Sterilgarda) took a home pole position at Silverstone, with a record fastest lap of 2'04.091.

The Coventry man held off the charge of Jonathan Rea (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) and Michel Fabrizio (Ducati Xerox) in fine style, while Jakub Smrz (Pata B&G) moved forward impressively with some great single laps to go fourth on the grid.

Smrz beat both of the official factory Aprilia machines and was one place up on championship challenger Leon Haslam (Suzuki Alstare).
