If five different manufacturers are present on the first two rows of the grid at Assen, there was no report Yamaha. Both R1 official will set off in effect since the beginning of the third row. Thus, Cal Crutchlow (Sterilgarda Yamaha Team) ninth and teammate James Toseland (Yamaha Team Sterilgarda) tenth, ahead of Max Biaggi and Ruben Xaus (BMW Motorrad Motorsport)..

Disappointed, Sylvain Guintoli (Team Alstare Suzuki) will start from thirteenth on the grid. The French never managed to completely let go and has always lacked that little something that would have placed him among the best. Sylvain nevertheless set off ahead of Tom Sykes (Kawasaki Racing Team), Noriyuki Haga and Max Neukirchner (HANNspree Ten Kate Honda). For his return Chris Vermeulen (Kawasaki Racing Team) could not do better than 19th on the grid. It falls at the first Superpole session, fortunately without consequences for his knee is still fragile.

Five tenths faster than second on the grid, Kenan Sofuoglu (HANNspree Ten Kate Honda) seems particularly untouchable this weekend at Assen. If he does not commit an error in the race tomorrow, it will be very difficult for the regular. Even Eugene Laverty (Parkalgar Honda) managed to grab the second place on the grid at the expense of Michael Pirro (HANNspree Ten Kate Honda) third. Very quiet at previous test sessions, Joan Lascorz (Kawasaki) managed to get back on track in qualifying to finally complete the first line starting with the fourth my best time. Just behind the four front men, we find the two French pilots involved in World Supersport this season. First private, Fabien Foret (Team Lorenzini by Leoni) fifth set off to Matthew Lagrive (Triumph BE1 ParkinGO). The latter seems to have taken the full measure of the Triumph 675 Daytona. A week after the 24h of Le Mans, Norman qualified in sixth position is the first of four drivers on the grid Triumph.
