Cal Takes His 1st Pole in Assen

Cal takes pole in Assen ahead of this afternoons race, a truely fantastic achievement. Cal is the first British rider to secure pole in the MotoGP World Championship since Ulster man Jeremy McWilliams over a decade ago at Philip Island in 2002.

The rest of the best are as follows; Marquez, Bradl, Rossi, Pedrosa make up the top 5. A horrible highside on Thursday’s free practice broke Jorge Lorenzo’s collarbone but he jumped on a plane, flew back to Spain, had surgery is now back in the paddock and will start from 12th.

Bradley Smith qualified 6th which is a career best – great work from Bradders who is still in pain and recovering from surgery on his hand and wrist. Aleix Espargaro was the top CRT, and lines up 7th on the grid amazingly ahead of the prototype machines. Alvaro Bautista, Randy de Puniet and Ducati’s Nicky Hayden make up the rest of the top 10.
