He has nothing more to lose, he wants to win and stay in the running for the world championship: Scott Redding has his word and starts to make a big voice on the Argentine Saturday, conquering a stratospheric Superpole in San Juan. The Ducati rider, on his first weekend on the El Villicum track, shows himself extremely competitive right from the start and at the decisive moment throws his paw, mocking the great favorite Toprak Razgatlioglu and taking the first start at the pole of the season.
Ducati smiles on Argentine soil at the end of this Superpole, thanks to an excellent Axel Bassani. The Motocorsa team rider did an incredible lap and at the end of the session he moved to third position, just 221 thousandths from poleman Redding. The youngest rider on the grid proves once again that he is up to the top and is the first of the independents, after an important result.
Between the two Ducati riders is Toprak Razgatlioglu, the great ruler of all three free practice sessions. The world leader does not capitalize on the hegemony in qualifying and stops in second position. However, he is only a tenth behind from Redding and remains the favorite in view of Race 1. The Yamaha rider also takes advantage of the difficulties of Jonathan Rea, who does not go beyond the fifth time trial.
Not a particularly satisfying qualifying session for the Kawasaki rider, forced to chase since the beginning of the weekend and delayed in Superpole. Rea stops 475 thousandths behind Redding and remains behind Alex Lowes, fourth despite still recovering from his right hand injury. The two Kawasakis share the second row with Andrea Locatelli, sixth with the other factory Yamaha. The man from Bergamo is the first to go over half a second behind the poleman, paying six tenths.
In qualifying Michael van der Mark is certainly more effective, author of an uphill weekend: the Dutchman brings his BMW to seventh position, ahead of Garrett Gerloff’s Yamaha, eighth with the GRT team’s R1. Michael Ruben Rinaldi closes the third row, in his first experience in San Juan as an official driver: the Romagna rider does not go beyond the ninth place and suffers a delay of seven tenths from his teammate and Superpole holder.
Leon Haslam closes the top 10, tenth with Honda. His box neighbor Alvaro Bautista, on the other hand, remains more late, only 15th. Between the two HRC riders there is a good Isaac Vinales, 11th, and Eugene Laverty, 12th with the BMW to replace the injured Tom Sykes. In front of Bautista we also find Chaz Davies, 13th with the Ducati of the Go Eleven team, and home idol Leandro Mercado, 14th. Far behind Samuele Cavalieri, only 17th with the Panigale of the Barni team.
