Alonso pulls the pin for second pole in succession

David Alonso (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) has been the fastest rider in Moto3™️ since Sunday at the Portuguese GP, and in Jerez even more so.

The Colombian has been untouchably quick in most sessions so far and was so in qualifying for the Gran Premio Estrella Galicia 0,0 de España, over a second clear of the field until a late attack from David Muñoz (BOE Motorsports) to cut the gap to just over two tenths. After duelling Alonso on the timesheets earlier still in the session, Collin Veijer (Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP) completes the front row.

Row 2 is Joel Kelso (BOE Motorsports), Rysuei Yamanaka (MT Helmets – MSI) and Q1’s fastest rider, rookie Angel Piqueras (Leopard Racing), meanwhile Championship leader Dani Holgado (Red Bull GASGAS Tech3) crashed in the session and will have to put in a comeback from P18. Can he protect that two-point lead over Alonso? Tune in at 11:00 (UTC+2) to find out!
