Tom Sykes is not there to play the supporting role and also sets the best time in the Warm Up recently concluded in Jerez de la Frontera, demonstrating that he has the best race pace.

Behind him is Leon Haslam, who improves his performance on the track compared to what we have seen so far, if only in light of today's two races.
A podium wouldn't change his ranking but it would certainly give him a notable boost of confidence.

Rea is third, now one step away from the well-deserved title celebrations, especially given that Chaz Davies, the only one on paper to still have a chance for the world crown, seems not to have the right pace here.
In fact, for him only a ninth time, also behind the new teammate Michelr Pirro: we'll see if the race respects the conditions or Ducati will come up with something in the end.

Fourth and fifth times for this year's two rookies Torres and van der Mark, while last year's young rookie, Alex Lowes, placed sixth.
Seventh Guintoli ahead of the Ducati duo of the Aruba.it team, then the top 10 is closed by Leon Camier.

Meet at 10am with the start of Race 30 at the Circuit de Jerez.
