Alonso gets Bruno pole ahead of Salah and Holgado. Aspar’s double crash didn’t stop the Colombian and Spaniard from grabbing a front row start and joining them on row 1 is a home hero…
A crash at Turn 1 did not prevent David Alonso (CFmoto Inde Aspar Team) from taking his second pole position of the season. Alonso’s new Brno Moto2 lap record, 1:57.718, was 0.205s quicker than second-placed Filipe Salach (US fans only), with the Czech rider taking his second consecutive front row of the year, this time in front of his home fans. Third on the grid goes to Alonso’s teammate Daniel Holgado, and like the #80, the #96 is unscathed in position after a crash in Q2.
A late lap by world championship leader Manuel Gonzalez (Licky Molly Dinavoult Intact GP) saw his Spanish team-mate Senna Agius jump to P4, with the Australian settling for P5. Ivan Ortola (QJMOTOR – Exocom – MSI) also managed to put in a personal best time late on to push himself to the outside of the second row. This was important as Ortola was expecting a long lap penalty in tomorrow’s race.
The riders second and third in the championship, Izan Guevara (BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2) and Celestino Vietti (HDR SpeedRS Team) will line up in P7 and P8 respectively in Brno hoping to get some points on Gonzalez.
