Moto2: For the first time since the 1991 Japanese GP, a Dutchman will line up on pole position in the Moto2 class after Collin Veijer (Red Bull KTM Ajo) stuck his Kalex-Triumph next to the P1 board in Saturday’s parc ferme in Jerez.
Veijer set a 1:39.101 in an incredibly competitive pole shootout which saw Alex Escrig (KLINT Racing Team) and championship leader Manuel Gonzalez (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) complete a front row split by just 0.095s.
Austin winner and Friday’s pacesetter Senna Agius (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) spearheads the second row in P4 having led for some of Q2, and joining the in-form Australian behind the front row are Alonso Lopez (ITALJET Gresini Moto2) and David Alonso (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team), with the Colombian’s teammate Daniel Holgado lining up a place behind him in P7. Can the Aspar duo challenge for the victory from there?
Barry Baltus (REDS Fantic Racing) went into Q2 as one of the favourites for pole, but the Belgian couldn’t repeat his feat from Austin last time out – the #7 launches from P8. Izan Guevara (BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2), the rider second in the championship, qualified in P9 but with the three-place grid penalty added, the Spaniard has a tough task on Sunday from P12 on the grid.
A compelling grid then for the Moto2 Spanish Grand Prix.
