Reardon set a quick lap of 39.077, which was almost a full second up on Marmont’s 39.751, while Blose was the final rider under the 40-second bracket with a 39.969.

In the Lites class it’s Serco Yoshimura Yamaha’s Kirk Gibbs who has proven the early pace-setter, his best lap of 39.597 just under half a second quicker than Matt Moss’ (JDR Motorex KTM) 39.930.
