At the Misano E-Prix, Mitch Evans secured Jaguar TCS Racing’s first pole position of the season, ending Jean-Eric Vergne’s impressive run.

Wehrlein, after succumbing to Vergne in the Duels, finished third on the grid, with Hughes alongside him, followed by Mueller and Rowland in fifth and sixth positions respectively. The rest of the grid featured a mix of drivers who either advanced or failed to move on from the qualifying groups.
