Australian Joel Kelso (LEVELUP-MTA) take a ninth front row of 2025 and a second pole in the last three Grands Prix with a stunner in Portugal. He denied Scott Ogden (CIP Green Power), who put in a late charge to start second, with Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI) rounding out the front row. It was a closely fought session, with 16 riders covered by less than a second.
The late lap from Kelso saw him fly into pole with a 1’46.764, demoting Ogden’s very own late lap by just 0.069s
Maximo Quiles (CFMoto Gaviota Aspar Team) starts fourth after getting demoted off the front row late on and crashing, losing his chance to improve. Guido Pini (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) and Joel Esteban (Red Bull KTM Tech 3) complete Row 2
Irishman Casey O’Gorman (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) impresses in P7 ahead of Leopard Racing’s Adrian Fernandez and David Almansa
