HARRIS BACK ON FORM The front row for tomorrow’s two 18-lap Superbike races will feature Karl Harris for the first time since the second round at Thruxton in April. The 25-year-old Sheffield rider blasted back to prominence on the Honda-Racing.co.uk CBR1000RR Fireblade in preparation for the tenth round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship at Cadwell Park. Third after the first session in the morning, Harris was unable to improve his time in windy conditions this afternoon. As a result, the Dunlop/BLD-backed Fireblade was relegated to the outside of the front row by Gregorio Lavilla, with pole position Leon Haslam and surprise package Tommy Hill completing the front row. It was a superb return to form for Harris who has found a good race set-up with Dunlop Tyres and his immaculate Honda Racing-prepared Fireblade around the 2.18-mile Lincolnshire circuit. His fastest time of 1:28.043 was over a second inside the existing lap record, which is indicative of the pace at the front of the field as the championship battle hots up over the final four events of the 13-round series. Karl Harris: “I’m feeling in good shape today at Cadwell Park. I’d like to thank the Honda-Racing.co.uk team for all of their hard work in giving me an excellent set-up on my CBR1000RR Fireblade. “This is a physically demanding circuit, but I’m getting back to what I would consider to be peak fitness. Overall, I’m feeling quietly confident, and with luck on my side, I’m looking to get back on to the podium tomorrow for the first time since Oulton Park in May.” Qualifying: 1. L. Haslam (Ducati) 1:27.280; 2. T. Hill (Yamaha) 1:27.640; 3. G. Lavilla (Ducati) 1:27.655; 4. K. Harris (Honda-Racing.co.uk) 1:28.043; 5. G. Richards (Kawasaki) 1:28.089; 6. J. Rea (Red Bull Honda) 1:28.273; 7. M. Rutter (HM Plant Honda Racing) 1:28.278; 8. J. Haydon (Suzuki) 1:28.445; 9. D. Thomas (Kawasaki) 1:28.558; 10. J. Buckingham (Suzuki) 1:28.573
