Zaccone takes maiden pole as rain and then shine delivers classic qualifying at MugelloThe #61 continues to impress to take his first MotoE™ pole, with Tulovic and Garzo completing the front row.

The FIM Enel MotoE™ World Championship returned for more action at the Gran Premio d’Italia Brembo with an exciting, and even briefly rain-hit, qualifying session to decide the grid. Alessandro Zaccone (Tech3 E-Racing) came out on top as his speed in 2024 continues to get even better, fresh from a podium in Barcelona. The rest had no answer for the #61 and he took his maiden MotoE™ pole position, 0.312s ahead of a return to the front for Lukas Tulovic (Dynavolt Intact GP MotoE™).

Hector Garzo is close on the chase to make it an Intact GP double completing the front row. Q1 saw the rain shower down part-way through, but by the time Q2 began it was back onto slicks and became a straight shoot-out for pole.

Heading up the second row of the grid will be Eric Granado (LCR E-Team), the Brazilian just pipping teammate and reigning World Champion Mattia Casadei. Both riders will be looking for more in Italy after crashing out of Race 2 in Barcelona. Rounding out a star-studded second row of the grid is championship leader Kevin Zannoni (Openbank Aspar Team) in sixth, looking to repeat his stellar starts from the Catalan GP.

Nicholas Spinelli (Tech3 E-Racing) lines up seventh, leaving him with work to do tomorrow to recover valuable points lost after a double DNF in Barcelona. Behind Spinelli sit both Felo Gresini MotoE™ riders – Matteo Ferrari and Alessio Finello. For Ferrari, 8th signifies his best qualifying of the season as finds more form and for Finello, 9th means a personal best gird slot by three places in his MotoE™ career.

Unable to set a time in Q2 was KLINT Forward Factory Team’s Andrea Mantovani, who topped but also crashed out of Q1 midway through the session. Rookie, Catalan GP Race 1 winner and championship contender Oscar Gutierrez (Axxis-MSI) has a mountain to climb from 15th, and will be looking to gain big and early.

Make sure you don’t miss both races on Saturday with lights out at 12:15 local time (UTC +2) for Race 1 before Race 2 gets underway at 16:10 local time!Zaccone Takes Maiden Pole As Rain And Then Shine Delivers Classic Qualifying At Mugello
