For the first time in his Moto2 career, Senna Agius (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) will fire away from pole position when the lights go out after the Australian set a 1:34.576 to beat fellow front row starters Izan Guevara (BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2) and Daniel Holgado (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) by less than a tenth in Thailand.
Agius left it until the closing moments to snatch a dream debut pole in the class, with 0.049s splitting the top three at the end of the 15-minute dash. Ivan Ortola (QJMOTOR – PONT GRUP – MSI) spearheads Row 4 and was just over a tenth back from pole, with Celestino Vietti (SYNC Group SpeedRS Team) and Collin Veijer (Red Bull KTM Ajo) completing the top six on the grid.
After topping Friday’s Practice, Manuel Gonzalez (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) is forced to settle for P7 as the Spaniard hunts back-to-back Thai GP wins, and having come through the Q1 jungle, David Alonso (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) salvaged a P10 in qualifying to give himself a fighting chance of a podium – and maybe a win – on Sunday. The Colombian starts one place behind Mario Aji (Idemitsu Honda Team Asia), and one place ahead of rookie Angel Piqueras (QJMOTOR – PONT GRUP – MSI).
