The CFMOTO Valresa Aspar Team rider has broken the all-time lap record at the Circuit de Barcelona – Catalunya to achieve his seventh pole of the year

CFMOTO Valresa Aspar Team rider David Alonso will face his last Moto3 race from pole position. The world champion has achieved his seventh pole of the year at the Circuit de Barcelona – Catalunya after beating the track record. Alonso has gone straight into Q2 after achieving the second best time in the last practice session. In qualifying, the Colombian has set the pace from the first minutes and has given his rivals no chance. In his first attempt he has set a time of 1:46.026, a register that has put him at the top of the timesheets. However, he still had more and in his second attempt he has improved to 1:45.905. With this time, Alonso has beaten by two tenths the previous track record, which he set at the Catalan GP. Despite there were still many minutes left to go, no rider has been able to improve his time. In fact, Alonso has been the only one to complete a lap in 1:45. Tomorrow, the Colombian will fight to score his fourteenth victory of the year to close his time in Moto3 on a high note. Behind the CFMOTO Valresa Aspar Team rider will start Collin Veijer and Iván Ortolá, who are fighting for the runner-up position alongside Dani Holgado, who will start from fifth place.

Marcos Uriarte will start his first race with the CFMOTO Valresa Aspar Team from twenty-first position. The young Spanish continues to make progress in his debut with the team and is satisfied with the work done on the second day. After setting the twenty-fifth best time in the last practice, Uriarte has competed in Q1, a session in which he has achieved a time of 1:47.802 which will allow him to start tomorrow from the seventh row of the grid.
