Beim ersten Qualifying der IDM Supersport 300 hieß der schnellste Mann Tom Booth-Amos (Füsport–RT Motorsports by SKM–Kawasaki/25). Der Brite, der aktuell in der Supersport 300-Weltmeisterschaft als Gesamtzweiter um den Titel kämpft, tritt an diesem Wochenende als Gaststarter in der IDM an und zeigte schon in den freien Trainings, dass er die Nase vorn hat. Wenn auch nur knapp.
With a time just half a second slower, Dirk Geiger (Freudenberg KTM WorldSSP Team/19) also showed that he feels right at home at the TT Circuit Assen. The Mannheim native is looking to build on his successful weekend in Schleiz, where he won both races.
Luca De Vleeschauwer (Füsport–RT Motorsports by SKM–Kawasaki/18) was third fastest in the first qualifying session. It was a solid result for the Belgian, who crashed twice during free practice. Right behind De Vleeschauwer, his teammate Marvin Siebdrath secured second place, just under a second behind.
Championship leader Lennox Lehmann (Freudenberg KTM WorldSSP Team/15) initially finished in ninth place, behind Micky Winkler (Kawasaki Weber-Motos Racing/19) from Schleiz.
