Prince, of the newly-formed team Mohamed’s Enterprise,was the early pace setter after qualifying with a blistering time of 1:17.340 aboard his Yamaha R6 and has clearly set himself as the man to beat today.

Speaking exclusively to Chronicle Sport on his pole sitting performance, Prince stated, “Of course! But that was the plan (to get pole).
“However, the track is new to me and we are still learning. Tomorrow we want to go out and try to win some races. I like the track so far,it seems like a lot of fun. The surface is a little bumpy, the layout is challenging but fast,” prince stated.
Price will start ahead of the Trinidad trio of Keil Abraham, Warren DeNobriga and Nicholas Gonzalves,who posted times of 1:21.068, 1:22.879 and 1:23.471.

At the group two level, mechanical failure forced Nasrudeen Mohammed to miss qualifying, though the upbeat group two entrant told Chronicle Sport, “We had some early issues but we’ve got them worked out. Tomorrow (Today) I will start at the back of the pack and I’ll have to make my way up,but that’s how racing goes sometime.”
