The 15 minutes that determine the starting grid have concluded: here are the positions of all the riders.
The WorldSBK Superpole at Misano is over: the battle heats up on home soil for the Italian teams and riders. The starting grid for Race 1 and the Superpole Race is now set.
Starting from pole position will once again be Bulega, who sets a new track record with a time of 1:31.618. 618. The Aruba Team rider will have to fight for the lead with Razgatlioglu and Bassani, who will join him on the front row.
An excellent performance, then, from Bimota in their home race: the Rimini-based team places both its riders in the top five. A decent result also for the Barni team, with both Petrucci (9th) and Montella (10th) finishing within the top ten.
In contrast, it was a tough session for both Honda and Bautista: the Ducati rider will start only from 11th place, followed by Lecuona. Vierge, still in pain, will have to try to build his race from 17th position.
Starting grid: from first to ninth position.
