Four-time AMA Pro Superbike Champion Josh Hayes, age 48, earned pole position during MotoAmerica Supersport Qualifying Two (Q2) Saturday morning at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
In spite of the 58-degree F ambient temperatures, Hayes was able to improve on the 1:27.817 he did on Friday with a 1:27.031 on his Squid Hunter Racing Yamaha YZF-R6 on Saturday to top the 28-entry field.
Teagg Hobbs was fifth on Friday with a 1:28.206 but at the very end of Q2 he threw down a 1:27.230 lap time on his Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R750 to claim the second spot on the starting grid.
Hobbs’ teammate Tyler Scott also improved from a 1:28.053 on Friday to 1:27.335 on Saturday to secure the third and final spot on the front row.
Xavi Fores, the current Supersport Championship point leader, crashed during Saturday morning’s Q2 session (his second crash of the weekend) and did not improve on the 1:28.664 he did on Friday. Fores has been complaining about a lack of front-end feel. He will start the 38-lap, double-points Extended Supersport race from eighth on the grid.
The race is scheduled to start at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
