MADRID, 29 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish rider Fermín Aldeguer (Boscoscuro) has achieved pole this Saturday for the Moto2 race of the Grand Prix of the Netherlands, the eighth round of the motorcycle World Championship, with the leader Sergio García Dols (Boscoscuro) third, while Ángel Piqueras ( Honda) will start for the first time in his career from first place in Moto3.
With this pole, the second of the season in the intermediate category and the sixth of his career, the Murcia-born rider will head a front row entirely of Boscoscuro riders that will also include the Japanese rider Ai Ogura and the first placed rider in the general classification, Castellón-born Sergio García Dols, who could increase his lead in the championship due to the absence of the American Joe Roberts, who underwent surgery after his serious fall on Friday.
As soon as the traffic lights went out, Alonso López (Boscoscuro) rose to the top at the start, while Izan Guevara (Kalex) was left out of the fight after going into the gravel in his first attempt to establish a lap.
García Dols soon overtook the Madrid native in the pole position with a 1:35.623 that was unbeatable for everyone during almost the entire Q2, until Fermín Aldeguer (1:35.590) managed to overtake him with just over two minutes to go.
The rider from La Ñora still had time to improve and upped the ante with a time of 1:35.269 which became the absolute record on the track. No one could beat him, although Ogura did beat the World Championship leader’s time to finish second.
Furthermore, Manu González (Kalex) finished fourth, just ahead of Alonso López and Albert Arenas (Kalex), who had to go through Q1. Marcos Ramírez (Kalex) will start twelfth, Arón Canet (Kalex) will start thirteenth, Jeremy Alcoba (Kalex) sixteenth and Guevara, eighteenth.
In Q1, Dani Muñoz (Kalex) finished twenty-first; Jaume Masià (Kalex), who will start twenty-sixth; Xavi Artigas (Forward), who will start twenty-seventh; and Alex Escrig (Forward), twenty-eighth. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>
In Moto3, Ángel Piqueras (Honda) achieved his first pole position in his eighth race in the World Championship, in a Q2 in which the leader, the Colombian David Alonso (CFMoto), could only manage thirteenth, two places ahead of his main pursuer, Dani Holgado (GasGas).
The 17-year-old from Requena will start on the front line alongside the Japanese Taiyo Furusato (Honda) and the great dominator of the weekend, the Dutchman Collin Veijer (Husqvarna), second and third respectively.
Veijer started in charge in Q2 in Assen, although just a few minutes after starting the session he crashed after losing control of his bike in the chicane. He did not go out on the track again, but his time of 1:40.055 on the first attempt became the reference to beat until the final seconds.
With several drivers running in red, it was Piqueras who managed to get the upper hand by clocking a great 1:39.746, while Furusato moved up to second place, leaving Veijer third at the rear of the grid.
For his part, Iván Ortolá (KTM) guaranteed fourth starting place, while José Antonio Rueda (KTM), Adrián Fernández (Honda) and Joel Esteban (CFMoto) will start seventh, eighth and ninth, respectively. David Muñoz (KTM) will start eleventh, David Almansa (Honda), eighteenth and Xabi Zurutuza (KTM), who failed to pass Q1, will start twenty-first.
More disappointing were the performances of the top two in the drivers’ standings; Alonso, who has dominated the pole position fights this season, achieved a modest best time of 1:45.933, which only earned him thirteenth. Despite everything, he will start ahead of Holgado, who will have to fight back from fifteenth place.
