For the third time in succession Tech3 E-Racing’s Alessandro Zaccone will launch from pole position after the Italian pipped Oscar Gutierrez (Axxis-MSI) by just 0.062s in a drama-filled qualifying at the Liqui Moly Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland. Zaccone’s 1:26.234 was 0.221s quicker than Nicholas Spinelli’s (Tech3 E-Racing) best effort, as the latter came through Q1 to stick his Ducati V21L on the front row in P3.
Title hunting Hector Garzo (Dynavolt Intact GP MotoEq) spearheads the second row of the grid in P4, as the top two in the World Championship – Mattia Casadei (LCR E-Team) and Kevin Zannoni (Openbank Aspar Team) – both suffered crashes in Q2. Casadei qualified P8 but will serve a Long Lap penalty in Race 1 for crashing under yellow flags at Turn 13, while Zannoni didn’t set a time after the Italian crashed at Turn 1 early in Q2 – the 21 will start in P10 if given the all-clear to race.
Check out the video of the session and the full results, and then come back for race day in Germany! On Saturday, it’s lights out at 12:15 local time (UTC +2) for Race 1 before Race 2 gets underway at 16:10 local time.
