Jeremy Alcoba was the fastest in the first qualifying session of the Moto2 Italian Grand Prix, thus securing one of the last spots in Q2. The same was achieved by Darryn Binder, Marcos Ramírez, and Zonta van den Goorbergh.
The leader after the initial timed laps was Binder (Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP/Kalex), with van den Goorbergh (RW-Idrofoglia Racing GP/Kalex), Filip Salac (Elf Marc VDS/Kalex), and Ramírez (OnlyFans American Racing Team/Kalex) also in the qualifying positions.
With several riders heading back to the pits right after their initial timed laps, the leaderboard remained largely unchanged at the front… until the last four minutes, which were the decisive phase of Q1.
Ramírez strengthened his top-four position by improving to second, before Alcoba (Yamaha VR46 Master Camp Team/Kalex) took the lead by surpassing Binder by 0.034s. Ramírez was relegated to third.
Van den Goorbergh didn’t improve but finished fourth, also securing advancement. In fifth, Salac missed out on Q2 by being 0.048s behind the Dutch rider.
