Submitted by Jared Earle on Sat, 2012-07-21 11:24
Davide Giugliano was fastest again ahead of his Althea Ducati team mate Carlos Checa. Qualifier extraordinaire Tom Sykes was unable to match his morning's time, but with three riders under 2'00, Superpole is wide open.
The track had drops of rain in the first sector at the start of the session, but appears to have cleared up quickly.

The pupil .....
...... overtakes the master. #34 - #7
Very concerned why Hopper is so of the pace.
Its really not the bike.
Watch at Suzuka during the 8hr. The Gixer will loose to the HARP HRC's [& no doubt the FCC HRC's but after all, Honda own Suzuka and like to win] but the Yoshi Suzuki's are not slow.
I really dont want to see Hopper drop back to a domestic championship ( although he was brilliant in BSB ) as I really think he is a great talent then that.
Still plenty of races for him to grab some decent numbers.
