At the end of an extremely hard-fought Superpole, which took place in wet conditions today at the German Nurburgring, it was Ayrton Badovini and Team SBK Ducati Alstare who snatched pole position this afternoon, the second pole of the season for the team and the first of Badovini’s career in the Superbike category. In second qualifying, which took place this morning on a cooler track than yesterday (18˚C), Badovini was able to improve significantly on yesterday’s times, lowering his best time by more than a second to record a 1’55.0 that projected him into tenth position. A small crash in the final stages caused him to lose valuable time but he nevertheless maintained tenth position. Carlos, having lost all of yesterday afternoon’s session due to a crash, worked hard with his technicians but unfortunately his fastest lap was not enough to qualify for the Superpole.

WSBK News. Just 150 points remain on the table for the World Superbike Championship contenders and Carlos Checa needs each one to keep him in the title fight...
Carlos Checa's reign as World Superbike Champion could be brought to an end with two rounds of the 2012 season remaining if his flagging title campaign takes another significant blow at the Nurburgring.
The reigning champion was a race winner for Althea Ducati around the German circuit last season, but stands to lose his crown as early as round 12 of 14 if he doesn't stay within 100 points of current front runner Marco Melandri by the end of the weekend.
As it stands, Checa is currently fourth overall and 75 points behind Melandri, so the Italian needs to score 25 points more than his rival over the two races to ensure neither he nor Ducati can secure back-to-back titles.
