James Toseland (Yamaha Sterilgarda) lost his third place in Superpole qualifying after leaving the pitlane for Superpole 3 before the session had been officially started. He will now start each race from eighth place on the grid.

Toseland left the pitlane ten seconds before the green light had been illuminated in pitlane, an infraction against the Superpole practice rules.
