Granado claims pole for the season’s final showdown

The Brazilian will launch from the front of the grid as the Bagger World Cup reaches its thrilling climax in Austria

All still to play for in the Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup with just 11 points separate the top 3 in the standings, as we head into the grand finale at the Red Bull Ring.

Eric Granado (Joe Rascal Racing) spent the majority of qualifying at the top of the timesheet where he improved on his own time throughout to secure his spot as the final polesitter of the Bagger’s season, with a lap time of 1:38.366, 0.173 faster than his nearest rival.

World Cup leader Archie McDonald (Joe Rascal Racing) secured second place on the Austrian grid, with a 1:38.539 on lap six of nine. An important front row for the Australian as he aims to be crowned Champion of the inaugural season this weekend in Austria.

Niti Racing’s Andrea Iannone completes the season finale’s front row, keeping his slim hopes of being crowned Baggers Champion alive, edging out teammate Oscar Gutierrez by just 0.002, who comes into this final round second in the World Cup standings, and well in the title fight.

All to play for in Spielberg as just two races separate us from crowning the inaugural  FIM Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup champion.
