World Supersport qualifying culminated in the Superpole session at Assen.
Can Oncu set the fastest time of the weekend only to be pipped by Glenn van Straalen by two thousandths of a second after just four laps. After the mid-session break, Can Oncu went even quicker, setting a 1'37.357, over a third of a second quicker than Glenn van Straalen's lap, but with just over two minutes left, Dominique Aegerter put in a 1'36.906 to go quickest, almost half a second quicker, setting a new outright lap record.
Nicolo Bulega and Federico Caricasulo held third and fourth places on their Ducatis, holding off the Yamaha charge of Glenn van Straalen and Lorenzo Baldassarri.
The front row will be Dominique Aegerter, Can Oncu and Nicolo Bulega, a Yamaha, Kawasaki and Ducati.
