Barbera heads 250cc warmup in Brno

Front row starter Hector Barbera worked on his dry setting in perfect fashion on Sunday morning, with the fastest time of the 250cc warmup session. The Spaniard put in a 2´03.327 lap one-tenth of a second quicker than that clocked by title contender Mika Kallio, as the aspirants to victory prepared for the afternoon showdown.

Thomas Luthi was a further tenth back on Barbera´s time, with Hector Faubel, Roberto Locatelli and Alvaro Bautista completing a tightly packed top six. Poleman Marco Simoncelli went round seventh quickest onboard his Metis Gilera RSA, with Alex Debon, Julian Simon and Mattia Pasini completing the fastest ten of the session.

Home riders Lukas Pesek and Karel Abraham were fifteenth and sixteenth, respectively, in the run.
