A brilliant Moto3 qualifying concluded with David Alonso (CFMOTO Valresa Aspar Team) storming to pole position after an incredible performance all weekend at the Gran Premio d’Italia Brembo. The 80 secured pole position on his final lap after a frantic session, heading Ivan Ortola (MT Helmets – MSI) as the Spaniard got closest. Rounding off the front row at Mugello is Red Bull KTM Ajo’s Jose Antonio Rueda, who took his sixth front row of the season.
Once Q2 got underway it was Jerez winner Collin Veijer (Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP) who was fast straight out of the gates, with Alonso ending his first run down in third. On the second run, Veijer would improve before all eyes turned to Alonso who briefly topped the times. Ortola was next to steal the top honours on his final run, but Alonso would have his chance to respond, clocking an incredible 1:54.194 on his final lap of qualifying before Rueda jumped to third to knock Veijer off the front row too.
Veijer heads the second row of the grid after a late crash at Scarperia while the 95 was on a fast lap. Alongside the Dutchman will be Daniel Holgado (Red Bull GASGAS Tech3), who rounds out the top five – less than a second adrift. Holgado has a good starting position for Sunday, as does rookie Luca Lunetta (SIC58 Squadra Corse) as he takes sixth.
Rookie Jacob Roulstone (Red Bull GASGAS Tech3) starts from seventh on the grid, alongside Honda Team Asia’s Taiyo Furusato, with the 72 continuing to impress this weekend. After fighting through Q1 earlier on, Joel Kelso will round off the third row of the grid in ninth position for BOE Motorsport.
