MOTO GP MotoGP rookie sensation Marc Marquez smashed Casey Stoner’s Misano lap record to secure pole position for the San Marino Grand Prix. The Honda rider suffered a high speed accident just hours earlier but this failed to shake his confidence. Forced to ride his spare bike due to the damage incurred to his number one machine, the Spaniard lit up the timing screens as he surged to pole with record breaking pace. V8 SUPERCARS Will Davison drove to a commanding victory in the second qualifying race to secure pole position for the Sandown 500. Starting second thanks to the efforts of co-driver Steve Owen in the opening 60km heat, Davison beat pole man Jamie Whincup to the first corner before driving away to chalk up a near six second win. Davison, who suffered a disastrous run at Sandown last year, also re-set the lap record in the closing stages. Whincup led home team-mate Craig Lowndes in second and third respectively after a largely pedestrian race at the front. Mark Winterbottom provided most of the entertainment, working away at the back of Chaz Mostert before eventually passing the Dick Johnson Racing entry for fourth with two laps remaining. David Reynolds ensured a sweep of FPR and Triple Eight equipment in the top six.
