Spanish Grand Prix, Jerez, Moto2, Qualifying: Navarro takes pole for Speed ​​Up

The top of the table in these qualifications is currently held by the strong Kalex contingent with two valiant SpeedUps which add a touch of diversity to the category. The major absentees are the KTM who will therefore play supporting roles with a strong presence in Q1. Four drivers will come out to compete for the best positions on the starting grid. Gardner led the way in a final free session where the championship leaders were discreet. What about these qualifications for the Spanish Grand Prix? 

Before answering this question, here is the inventory with the traditional table…

21° in the air and 31° on the track with still this overcast but benevolent sky. In 1'41.654, Brad Binder signs the first reference in front Locatelli, lecuona and Xavi Verge which worries. lecuona released the big attack and took the lead in 1'41.587. Manzi closes the top 5 with its machine stamped MV Agusta. We will remind you that it is the first four who will go to Q2.

The drafted are lecuona, Locatelli, Binder et Virgin. Q2 will therefore only be done with two KTMs… Bendsneyder will allow the NTS chassis to start sixteenth.

Schrötter is annoyed in his pit because of a technical problem which prevents him from going into battle. Brad Binder puts a smile back on KTM in 1'41.599. Fernandez et NAVARRO follow, which gives us three chassis in the very provisional leading trio. Álex Márquez breaks the illusion by setting the reference in 1'41.272. Nagashima follows. But Fernandez takes this dolphin place for 50 thousandths.

His teammate, Baldassarri and leader of the championship, is eighth ahead Lüthi. It even bothers Fernandez in his best time...

NAVARRO slams a 1'41.182 with his Speed ​​Up with carbon chassis. There are five minutes left. Schrötter finally takes the track and ranks thirteenth. Open up is fifth behind Gardner and in front Baldassarri who stubbornly follows his teammate Fernandez third. Behind Alex Marquez et NAVARRO. Lüthi is eighth. Binder closes the top 10 and best KTM. Virgo is twelfth ahead Marini dominated by his rookie teammate. Schrötter is fourteenth.
