Sykes, Portimao…5th Pole of the Season

Tom Sykes banged in his fifth WSBK Superpole win of the season in succession after a two-part ‘Wet’ Portimao Superpole and in doing so took a new track best lap of 1’41.360. Loris Baz his team mate qualified sixth.

It was wet and it is bumpy around the Portimao track but the British rider conserved his tyres and managed to set a new track best and take his fifth Superpole win in a row. He now has 16 career Superpole successes, making him equal fifth best in the history of SBK qualifying. Eugene Laverty was hot on his tail with the Irish rider only within one thousandth of a second of Tom’s time, so starts from second place.

Watch all the action this weekend on Eurosport, with a wet superpole a dry race will be an exciting one.
