Eugene Laverty fastest in final free practice at Monza

The final free practice at Monza finally saw a completely dry track which allowed the riders to work on setup after all the previous sessions that were either wet or very damp.
With a dry track Eugene Laverty was the fastest rider with a best lap in 1.
42.
375 that he did half way through the 45 minute session, but he wasn’t able to improve in the finale.

Marco Melandri was second fastest and just a little less than two seconds adrift and followed by Tom Sykes, Sylvain Guintoli, who was literally the fastest with a top speed of 337 km/h, and Fixi Crescent Suzuki’s Leon Camier, in a very tight session, with the first five riders separated by a little more than three tenths of a second.
Sixth fastest was Kawasaki’s Loris Baz who was unable to break the 1.
43 barrier and tailed by Davide Giugliano and Chaz Davies who posted the same identical lap time.
After being no lower than second in all three previous sessions Jonathan Rea dropped to ninth but the Honda rider did suffer a lowside at turn 1 when he hit the kerb just minutes after his team mate Kosuke Akiyoshi crashed out with a massive highside at turn 7 (Lesmo 2).

The Japanese rider apparently didn’t suffer any injuries, but did go to the medical center without recording a single lap.
Closing out the top ten was Michel Fabrizio who is sporting a one off helmet to support Sofia, a little girl who is suffering from leukodystrophy.
This afternoon’s Superpole could easily see Max Biaggi’s 2011 Superpole record (1′41”745) fall.
