0.041s splits Ortola and Viejer in record-breaking Silverstone qualifying

A new lap record in Moto3™ Q2 saw Ivan Ortola (MT Helmets – MSI) edge out Collin Veijer (Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP) by a slender 0.041s for pole position at Silverstone, with the Spaniard slamming home a 2:09.270 to pocket a second Saturday P1 of the season ahead of his 50th GP start.

Joel Kelso (BOE Motorsports) lapped alone and claimed an impressive P3 to land a first front-row start since Portimao, the Australian 0.4s away from Ortola’s time.

– World Championship leader David Alonso (CFMOTO Valresa Aspar Team) will launch from P4 on the grid as he hunts to extend his title race advantage at the circuit he won his first race in 2023.

– Having looked strong throughout Practice, home hero Scott Ogden (Fibre Tec Honda – MLav Racing) didn’t set a competitive time in Q2 and will start from P17.

The Moto3™ race will kick off at 11:15 local time (UTC +1) on Sunday morning, make sure you tune into motogp.com to ensure you don’t miss a single ounce of the action.
