The last four riders to compete for pole position in the Moto3 Dutch GP have been determined. José Antonio Rueda was the fastest in Q1 at Assen, securing his spot along with three other riders.
After the first flying laps, Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) led, with Matteo Bertelle (Kopron Rivacold Snipers Team/Honda) in second and Tatsuki Suzuki (Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP) in third, despite crashing on the next lap.
Xabi Zuruztuza (Red Bull KTM Ajo) was fourth but dropped two positions after the second flying laps, with Jacob Roulstone (Red Bull GasGas Tech3) moving into fourth.
After the riders made pit stops, they returned to the track for their final time attacks. Rueda improved on his last lap to strengthen his lead, while Bertelle did the same to hold onto second place.
Joel Esteban (CFMoto Gaviota Aspar) climbed to third, and Suzuki recovered from his incident to secure the fourth qualifying spot. Riccardo Rossi (CIP Green Power/KTM) also improved but finished fifth, missing Q2 qualification by just 0.080s.
