Superbike Pole for McGuinness at North West 200
Clear weather conditions allowed for a successful second qualifying session for the Kennedy International North West 200 today (11 May) with HM Plant Honda rider John McGuinness qualifying his Dunlop-shod Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade on pole. His team mate Steve Plater heads the second row of the grid in fourth.
In the supersport class Morecambe-based McGuinness qualified in third, however his good fortune was not replicated in the Superstock class. McGuinness did not have the opportunity to put in a qualifying time on his Superstock machine, as the session was red flagged and then cancelled. A decision as to where he will line up on the grid will be made with the officials.
