The CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider has finished two tenths off pole and will start from the second row of the grid tomorrow

The Emilia-Romagna GP pole position has been decided by just four thousandths. Evenness always reigns in the intermediate category and today's qualifying in Misano has proved it once again. Aron Canet has been the fastest rider and has taken his fourth pole of the season after setting a time of 1:34.935. With this register, Canet has ended just four thousandths ahead of Joe Roberts, who has finished second. In fact, the evenness has been such that the third, Tony Arbolino, has ended just ten thousandths off Canet's best time and the fourth, Celestino Vietti, 37 thousandths off. CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider Jake Dixon has completed the top 5. The British, who has gone straight into Q2, will start the Emilia Romagna GP from the second row of the grid after finishing two tenths off Canet. Dixon has achieved his objective of securing a better starting position for the race, after having had to fight back in the San Marino GP from the fifth row of the grid to finish fifth. Now, with fewer riders ahead of him when the lights go out and without the need to think about fighting back, the CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider can focus on higher goals and thus fight to close the gap on the top riders. The leaders in the standings have been once again far from the top positions: Ai Ogura has set the seventh best time, while Sergio García has been thirteenth.

His teammate Izan Guevara will have to fight to come back from the eighth row of the grid tomorrow. The Spanish, who is struggling to be competitive in Misano, has had to compete in Q1, a session in which he has managed to set his best time of the weekend, 1:35.989. However, that time has not been enough to get him into Q2 and tomorrow he will have to start from twenty-fourth position on the grid.

5th Jake Dixon 1:35.230: “It has been a good qualifying. We are much better than two weeks ago. The team has been working non-stop and I want to thank them. I am thinking a little bit too much and I am being too hard on myself to be better all the time. From now until the race, I just want to try to switch off, relax and just enjoy being here. Hopefully, tomorrow we can have another good day."

24th Izan Guevara 1:35.989: “I am not happy. We have improved a little in braking, but we are not able to be competitive. In qualifying I have not managed to complete a perfect lap, but even with a perfect lap I would not have been able to get into Q2.”
