Reigning champion Carlos Checa claims his first World Superbike pole position of the season at the Moscow Raceway, ahead of Tom Sykes, Eugene Laverty and Leon Haslam.
Reigning World Superbike Champion Carlos Checa will start from pole position for the first time this season after dominating the opposition during qualifying at the brand-new Moscow Raceway.
The Spaniard has been in excellent form since arriving in Russia for the first time, but having faced stiff competition from his Althea Ducati team-mate Davide Giugliano in the run up to Superpole, the fight for pole position remained fairly open.
