David Alonso’s dominance continues at Mugello. This afternoon, the Moto3 World Championship leader secured pole position for the Italian GP, having led all sessions so far.
After the initial laps, Collin Veijer (Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP) was leading the qualifying session, followed by Ivan Ortolá (MT Helmets-MSi/KTM) in second, and Alonso (CFMoto Valresa Aspar) in third.
The order remained unchanged for several minutes as many riders made the customary pit stops after their first stints. José Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) was in fourth.
With three minutes remaining, Ortolá took the lead, with Alonso moving up to second. In a few moments, Veijer dropped to third place. However, there was still time for changes before the session ended.
On his final lap, Alonso clocked in at 1m54.194s to secure pole position, beating Ortolá by 0.247s. Rueda will start third, having beaten Veijer at the end. Daniel Holgado (Red Bull GasGas Tech3) and Luca Lunetta (SIC58 Squadra Corse/Honda) will join the Dutch rider on the second row of the grid.
