July 9th, 2010 No Comments

Yamaha Sterilgarda World Superbike riders Cal Crutchlow and James Toseland ended the first qualifying session at Brno today satisfied with a good base set up. Despite suffering earlier in the day with a severe lack of grip on the track, the afternoon’s qualifying saw both improve their times as they fine tuned the set up. Starting qualifying with a set up that didn’t suit the track so well, Crutchlow spent some time in the session waiting in the pit while it was changed.
