After a long, five-week break since the first round of the season at Philip Island, World Superbikes is back in Europe. Imola was previously kept until the end of the season, but in 2012, it's been moved forward to the the second round, making it hard to compare the results with previous years, although the unusual warm weather would have thrown the usual estimates into the fiction category anyway. Perennial qualifier Jakub Smrz may well be the top qualifier of the day, but that was a last-gasp dash on the Effenbert Liberty Racing Ducati for the flag that put him at the top of the leader board that was dominated throughout the qualifying session by the big green Kawasakis of Tom Sykes and Joan Lascorz.
