Ian Hutchinson on his way to securing the fastest time in Thursday's practice

Ian Hutchinson clinched pole position for the Superbike races at the Ulster Grand Prix after setting the fastest time in Thursday's final practice.

The Padgett's Honda rider from Yorkshire clocked 131.00mph at Dundrod and he was followed by Bruce Anstey (130.62) and Cameron Donald (130.24).

Dungannon's Ryan Farquhar, Keith Amor and Guy Martin completed the top six.

Amor was quickest in the Supersport and Superstock classes, with Ian Lougher setting the pace in the 250s.

Farquhar will start from pole in the Supertwins, with his 115.30 well ahead of Daniel Kneen in second.

Amor topped the lap speeds on his Honda machine with 127.28 in the Supersports and 131.28 in the Superstock session.

Martin said earlier this week that he would sit out the Superbike class in order to concentrate on the two Supersport races.

However, it seems that the Lincolnshire man has had a change a mind after finishing sixth fastest in Superbike practice on Thursday.
