Ogura claims rare pole with title chase leader Garcia 16th

For the first time since the 2022 Malaysian GP, Ai Ogura (MT Helmets – MSI) will launch a Moto2™ race from pole position after the Japanese rider beat pre-session favourite Aron Canet (Fantic Racing) by 0.052s.

Ogura’s 2:02.940 was a new Silverstone Moto2™ lap record, and it was a time that third place Diogo Moreira (Italtrans Racing Team) was just 0.183s away from as the rookie earns a first intermediate class front row start.

World Championship leader Sergio Garcia (MT Helmets – MSI) will start Sunday’s race from P16 after a tougher-than-anticipated Q2 session.

British crowd favourite Jake Dixon (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) goes from the middle of the second row in P5 as he aims to repeat his 2022 Silverstone podium success.

An intriguing qualifying sets us up nicely for the Moto2™ race that comes to you at 14:30 local time (UTC +1) on Sunday afternoon.
