WSS Miller: Lascorz on top in first session, Laverty second

Factory Kawasaki rider Joan Lascorz set the pace in the opening free practice session. Lasorz’s lap time was 1.5 seconds off the circuit best also set by the Spanish rider 12 months ago.

Parkalgar Honda man Eugene Laverty led the session but was knocked back to second at the end of the session just 0.184 behind Lascorz.

American Jason Disalvo showed his intimate knowledge of the Utah track to secure third place riding the BE1 Triumph. 2009 race winner Kenan Sofuoglu was fourth ahead of another former World Champion, Fabien Foret in fifth.

Chaz Davies ended the 45 minute session in eighth with fellow Brit Gino Rea in 11th.
