Yari Montella stands out again in qualifying, his pole position at Jerez. Niki Tuuli and Keminth Kubo share the front row with him.

Third double qualifying of the season, and new pole position for Yari Montella. The Ciatti-Speed Up team rider wants to continue his winning streak, starting from first place on the Jerez grid on Saturday and Sunday. Next to him, with a delay of more than three tenths, is Niki Tuuli, and the astonishing third Keminth Kubo, the young Thai from the VR46 Master Camp Team. There will be two Moto2 races in which the CEV boys will participate on Saturday at 12:00 p.m. and Sunday at 13:00 p.m., for a total of 17 laps each.

The young Italian Yari Montella immediately emerges from the first qualifying round: in fact, after only four laps, he scores a 1'42.919 which will allow him to finish in command. The only one to go under the 1'43 wall, the Speed Up driver is without equal. To highlight the excellent feedback from Niki Tuuli, who has just recovered from a broken wrist. He is still behind the transalpine standard-bearer, even if he is half a second behind in this session. Keminth Kubo emerges, finishing in third place just a thousandth behind the Finnish driver.

In the second session of the day the temperatures are higher, a fact that we have seen recently also in the World Championship events. It doesn't slow down too much though. Niki Tuuli, who set the best time of the session as well as his best personal time during this qualifying session on Friday. Two tenths behind him, the championship leader Yari Montella, while Alessandro Zaccone obtained third place, only 23 thousandths behind his compatriot.

As initially said, the combined rankings show us how bad it still is Yari Montella which makes the difference. Even after QP2, he remained the only one to go under the 1'43 wall, thus ensuring pole position for the two rounds in Jerez de la Frontera. Niki Tuuli is in second place with a disadvantage reduced to three tenths, while Keminth Kubo is third. The Thai will, however, have to be wary first of all ofAlessandro Zaccone, determined not to lose contact with the Italian and the Finn who precede him in the general classification.
