Cookstown 100: Browne sets qualifying pace

Mike Browne has set the pace for tomorrow’s Cookstown 100 feature Superbike race.

The Cork man threw the gauntlet down to the rest of the field, putting his Burrows Engineering/RK racing Suzuki GSX-R1000 in pole position with a lap time of 1’23.851, just over a second quicker than Michael Sweeney and Adam McLean, who was third quickest.

It wasn’t all bad for McLean as earlier in the day he was quickest in the Supersport session, this time out it was Browne who set the second fastest lap with Paul Jordan third.

McLean and Browne also set pole times in the Supertwin and Moto3 sessions.

This year sees the 100th running of the Cookstown 100 with a full programme of 14 races to be run on Saturday 23rd.
