LS Motors Honda rider Clément Desalle took his third pole of the season this afternoon in Loket. The 20-year old Belgian collided with Max Nagl in the start but he recovered quickly from fifth to second on the hard pack track. The 'MX Panda' was consistently the fastest man out and with four laps to go he passed Nagl for the lead. An impressive performance by Clément who won the Lovemytime award before in Ernée and Lommel.

Dennis Verbruggen was equally impressive in pre-qualifying practice posting the third time. Verbruggen was unlucky in the start, but bounced back from a low 36th first lap position to come home 13th. Clearly both riders feel comfortable so let's hope for more strong results tomorrow!
