Áron Canet, coming from Q1, was the big highlight of the Moto2 qualifying in Le Mans, with the Fantic Racing rider securing pole position for Sunday’s race.
After Zonta vd Goorbergh, Áron Canet, Senna Agius, and Izan Guevara secured their spots in Q2, it was now time to find out who would be the fastest in this qualifying in Le Mans, in the intermediate class.
Alonso López and Filip Salac were the first to rise to the top of the times, with roughly half of the riders still not setting any fast laps.
Manuel González meanwhile set the best lap so far in 1:35.453s, a 0.161s advantage over López, with Guevara in third.
The session was roughly halfway through and as usual, the riders headed to their team garages to prepare for the final attack on the times and the pole position. Tony Arbolino continued to not show a competitive time, being 17th, he who won the Moto2 GP in France last year.
Áron Canet meanwhile moved to the front of the qualifying with just over two minutes to go, with Joe Roberts reaching the second time. 0.136s separated the riders.
Fermín Aldeguer, 11th, was struggling while Sergio García reached the positions of the front row, currently in third. Shortly after, Senna Agius fell.
And it was precisely the Spanish rider, who will be in MotoGP in 2025, who was attacking for pole position but something happened and #54 lost a lot of time.
En la final, Canet logró asegurar la pole position en Moto2, con Roberts y García acompañándolo en la primera fila de la parrilla. Muchos de los tiempos conseguidos al final fueron cancelados debido a la bandera amarilla en el circuito.
