Áron Canet, coming from Q1, was the 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 session in Le Mans, in the intermediate class.
Alonso López and Filip Salac were the first to set the fastest times, with roughly half of the riders still without a quick lap.
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 back to their teams’ garages to prepare for the final attack on the times and pole position. Tony Arbolino continued to show no competitive time, being 17th, despite winning last year’s Moto2 GP in France.
Áron Canet then moved to the top 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 front row positions, currently in third. Senna Agius, shortly after, crashed.
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.
À la fin, Canet a réussi à garantir la pole position en Moto2, avec Roberts et García à ses côtés sur la première ligne de la grille. Beaucoup des temps réalisés à la fin ont été annulés en raison du drapeau jaune sur le circuit.
