Jerez 2 Moto2 Qualifying: Marco Bezzecchi signs his first pole in the category

The VR46 patrol observed the day before was dismantled this morning by Jorge Martin who brought balm to the heart of the Ajo team. However, there is no peace of mind among the ex-KTM since their second driver and championship leader Nagashima suffered a blow to the head which deprived him of the rest of FP3. Will he be ready for these qualifications? For their part, Lowes and Baldassarri also showed good spirits at the start of this Saturday…  

Before knowing the outcome of this session, here is the table that refreshes our memory, even in the heatwave of Jerez...
