Sam Lowes took his second pole position of the year at Jerez at the end of a particularly competitive qualifying session. The first four on the starting grid are thus united in 72 thousandths. And as Zarco regrets a liability of more than seven tenths, he is the big loser of the exercise.
The championship leader can therefore achieve a good deal in Spain since its two main rivals are in difficulty. However, it will be necessary to make do with a Folger bleeding and a Cortese always so cheerful who will share his first line. The second is held by Morbidely followed by Lüthi in the top 5 while Baldassari has not said its last word.
alex rins limits the case with the seventh beat, which is different from a Johann zarco distant sixteenth and who did not deny his poor winter tests on this same route. Courses is eighth, Alex Marquez, for his 20th birthday, is ninth and Marini, whose half-brother you know, is tenth.
