Moto2: Jake Dixon (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) is back on top in Moto2™ as the Brit took a stunning wet weather pole position at the Liqui Moly Grand Prix of Germany.
He denied fellow Q1 graduate Barry Baltus (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego), with Tony Arbolino (BLUCRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2) completing the front row as all three took the fight to the wire. Championship leader Manuel Gonzalez (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) had a tougher time of it and starts down in P16…
Wet in Q1 and wet in Q2, the conditions turned Friday form on its head and some crashes near the end of Q2 almost saw yellow flags decide some key positions on the grid too. But in the end the top three could get their final flyers in, denying provisional polesitter Senna Agius (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP), who was one of those to crash too. Rider ok but demoted to P4.
Albert Arenas (ITALJET Gresini Moto2), another who came through Q1, and Deniz Öncü (Red Bull KTM Ajo) lock out Row 2, ahead of Marcos Ramirez (OnlyFans American Racing), Alonso Lopez (Folladore SpeedRS Team) and rookie Ivan Ortola (QJMOTOR – FRINSA – MSI) on Row 3. Joe Roberts (OnlyFans American Racing) completes the top ten.
That leaves some other perennial frontrunners down the order – as well as Gonzalez in P16, Aron Canet (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego) crashed and is P12, needing to be passed fit to race too, and winner last time out, Diogo Moreira (Italtrans Racing Team), didn’t make it out of Q1.
