Stefano Mesa, riding his Tytlers Cycle Racing Kawasaki ZX-6R, earned pole position during MotoAmerica Supersport Qualifying Two Saturday morning at Road America, in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.

Mesa lapped the newly repaved four-mile circuit in 2:18.184.

Championship point leader Xavi Fores was the best of the rest with a 2:18.211 on his Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati NYC Panigale V2. Friday was Fores’ first time riding at Road America.

Tyler Scott struggled somewhat on Friday but rebounded strongly Saturday morning to claim the third and final spot on the front row with a lap time of 2:18.631 on his Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R750.

MotoAmerica AMA/FIM North America has made balancing adjustments to the Ducati Panigale V2 and Suzuki GSX-R750 via mapping changes this weekend. The details of those changes were not immediately available.
