You don't score points in Free Practice, but you can scare the opposition. After relative obscurity throughout qualifying, championship favourites ex-MotoGP stars Carlos Checa and Max Biaggi pull out all the stops ahead of Superpole.

Good to see Chaz back and pushing towards the front.
Also good to see Brett McCormick, the lone Canadian. Haven't had one of us on a SBK grid for a very long time - and doing quite well for his 1st time out.
