David Almansa (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) left it late in Q2 to make it three consecutive pole positions in Moto3, setting the fastest lap of the weekend with a 2:04.069 as he secured P1 by just 0.017s. Hakim Danish (AEON Credit – MT Helmets – MSI) will line up from second after he improved his time right at the end of the session, with Almansa and Danish denying Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team). The 28 was running in P1 until the final run, when he brought his bike back to the pits without the chance of improving his time in the final three minutes.
Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) will lead away the second row for Sunday’s Grand Prix as he posted a 2:04.634, half-a-second down on Almansa’s pole time. He’s joined by teammate Brian Uriarte on the second row, as the 51 was fifth quickest, with Eddie O’Shea (GYRD Racing) lining up from P6. The British rider had shown pace good enough to go directly into Q2, but a technical infringement meant he was disqualified from Practice. However, the #8 made his way through Q1 to claim sixth in Q2.
After a crash in Practice, Marco Morelli (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) was forced into Q2. It looked like he had the pace to make it through, but the 97 was in his box when he was second on the timesheets; however, while he watched on, he found himself demoted out of the top four places in Q1.
