The night had fully set in by the time the Moto2 qualifying show got underway but there wasn’t much suspense left after Sam Lowes claimed top spot early in Q2. The Marc VDS rider went unchallenged until the checkered flag and secured the first pole position of the season. Rookie Raul Fernandez was also off to a great start in the intermediate class, securing a front row start from second position, only a tenth of a second down on pole. Another surprise presence at the front of the grid was Bo Bendsneyder, who not only found his way back into the intermediate class last minute but also rushed straight into third grid position.
Marco Bezzecchi was strong throughout practice and might have expected to be even closer to Lowes but the Italian opens the second row of the grid, joined by Joe Roberts and Remy Gardner. The Australian also had hopes of joining his teammate on the front row, but a yellow flag hindered his final flying lap.
Jake Dixon dropped to seventh position, not helped by a slight collision with teammate Xavi Vierge late in the session. Fabio Di Giannantonio aced Q1 to qualify in the middle of the third row, ahead of Jorge Navarro. Celestino Vietti also found his way out the first qualifying session to open row four ahead of Nicolo Bulega and Aron Canet. Somkiat Chantra and Lorenzo Dalla Porta also escaped Q1 to qualify 14th and 16th, while rookie Ai Ogura missed out by four hundredths of a second.
