In previous years the grid for Race 1 and 2 in WorldSSP was dꦓetermined by qualifying results in the Superpole session.

This meant that whatever your result or fastest lap time in Race 1 was, you would start Rac🃏e 2 in the same position as Race 1, due to your qualifying result.

However, that is all changed in 20💃24 as the Superpole session will only organise the grid positions for Race 1.

Grid slots for Race 2 will instead be determined by your fꦗastest lap in Race 1, thus giving riders the chance to show off a different skill.

But this rule is only in place for the top nine positions, meaning if your best lap time was one of the nine fastest la🦩ps in Race 1, you will therefore be given a🔜 top nine position for Race 2.

If your best lap time i♋s not quick enough to be in the top nine, then you will start Race🔯 2 based on your result in qualifying.

“Without FP2, I think it’ll be important to do something for Race 2, because if you crash during the Superpole, you have the chance to make a good lap time and try to start Race 2 in the first nine positions,” said Yari Montella who topped ✤the Official Phillip Island test on༒ Monday.

Second fastest was Federico Caricasulo, who told WorldSBK.com: “For the Superpole on Friday, I think it’s a small advantage for everyone who has everything fro🍷m the year before, the same team and bike, and arrives with a good base.

“Maybe for us who ha🅰ve three days to understand where we are and how ꦿto be fast, it’ll be a little bit more difficult.

“For the grid for Race 2, I don’t know. The important thing is that it’s 🐻the♔ same for everybody.”

Also giving his views was Yamaha rider Stefano Manzi, who is considered the favourite for the 🌃title af🌜ter finishing second to Nicolo Bulega last season.

The ex-Moto2 rider said: “At the moment, I’m not fꦐocusing on it but it’s going to be interesting.

“I have to be fast over a single lap in the race because I, fo൲r sure, want to start as far forward as possible in Race 2.”
