For the first time since the Dutch GP, Fermin Aldeguer (Beta Tools SpeedUp) claimed pole position – and in some fashion too.
A final lap stormer on the Island saw the Spaniard set a scintillating new all-time lap record, a 1:30.876, to beat Aron Canet (Fantic Racing) by 0.196s as third place goes the way of Alonso Lopez (Beta Tools SpeedUp).
Fourth place Marcos Ramirez (OnlyFans American Racing Team) missed out on a front row start by just 0.024s, and the Spaniard is joined on the second row by Barry Baltus (RW-Idrofoglia Racing GP) and Japanese GP winner Manuel Gonzalez (Gresini Moto2™).
World Championship leader Ai Ogura (MT Helmets – MSI) will launch from P9 as he aims to stand on the podium on Sunday to give him a chance to clinch the 2024 crown in Australia.
Joe Roberts (OnlyFans American Racing Team) has been ruled out of action after the American suffered a broken scaphoid in a Practice 2 crash.
