Dani Holgado and David Alonso completed the team's best Saturday of the season and will start from the second and fourth row of the grid tomorrow 

The CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rookies continue to make great strides in their adaptation to the intermediate category and today completed the team's best Saturday of the season. Dani Holgado, who came into qualifying having been third yesterday and third again this morning, was able to get a place on the second row of the grid. His teammate David Alonso was eleventh after qualifying straight into Q2 for the first time yesterday. Manuel González, Jake Dixon and Aron Canet, the riders who occupy the top three positions in the overall standings and who have shown the best form so far, will occupy the front row of the grid for the Qatar Grand Prix race.   

Dani Holgado has improved his time-trend in the qualifying sessions. After fifteenth in his debut in Thailand, fourteenth in Argentina and thirteenth two weeks later in the United States, the CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider finished Q2 in fifth position today. Holgado continues to surprise and demonstrate his quick adaptation to the intermediate class every weekend and in Qatar he has been one of the fastest and most consistent riders. In the morning, he completed more than a dozen laps in high 1:57s high or low 1:58s. The Spaniard is confident in his pace and his good grid position to be able to fight for a great result in Lusail. His team-mate David Alonso has also made a big leap in the Lusail desert. The reigning Moto3 World Champion worked in free practice to continue fine-tuning some details ahead of the race, although he did not improve on Friday's lap times. Alonso is getting more and more comfortable on the Moto2 bike and this was reflected in this afternoon's qualifying session. The CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider was very close to under 1:57 and set his best time of the weekend: a 1:57.044 which puts him eleventh on the grid. 

5th Dani Holgado 1:56.756 (+0.455): “I'm happy to have achieved one of the objectives of the day, which was to qualify in the first three rows. I know I have a good pace, so if I could save those overtakes at the beginning so as not to punish the tyre, all the better. Today I felt very good: what I struggled the most was to get a fast lap and I seem to be improving little by little. We'll see how the race goes tomorrow. I'm going to try to stay close to the fastest guys and let them take me with them, so that I can save the tyres as long as possible to have something more at the end.” 

11th David Alonso 1:57.044 (+0.743): “Overall it's been a very consistent weekend. We are trying to understand the bike well, because the more I understand it, the better we can set it up, and that helps me. Now we are focused on getting the speed that the front guys have, so we are taking it step by step. In qualifying I made a mistake with the last tyre: I wanted to improve my time and I was a bit too much agitated. That made me make mistakes and I couldn't make the most of that second tyre.”
