A 1:33.910, a new Moto2 all-time lap record at Le Mans, was enough to see Izan Guevara (BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2) earn a debut pole position in the class.
The margin to P2 was tight, 0.086s to be exact, with Daniel Holgado (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) launching from P2, and having had a nightmare start to the weekend on Friday with technical issues and a big crash, Filip Salač (OnlyFans American Racing Team) clinched his first front row of the season in P3.
Spearheading the second row of the grid will be Barry Baltus (REDS Fantic Racing), but the Belgian – who has had great pace all weekend – suffered a Turn 6 crash in Q2 that saw him head to the medical centre for a check-up. A late lap from Manuel Gonzalez (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) saw the championship frontrunner climb from outside the top 10 to P5, with Joe Roberts (OnlyFans American Racing Team) securing his best qualifying result of the year in P6.
Despite his injury troubles this weekend, David Alonso (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) came through Q1 to secure P7, with back-to-back Moto2 winner Senna Agius (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) forced to settle for P11 – even though the rider second in the standings sits just 0.283s away from pole position.
