Results from Qualifying for round four, the Spanish Moto2 Grand Prix at Jerez, where Collin Veijer took his first pole position in the class.
In Jerez, Collin Veijer secured pole position for the Moto2 Spanish championship round, overcoming yellow flags that initially thwarted his efforts. Despite previously displaying strong pace, he was hindered by a red flag during Daniel Munoz’s fall, nullifying his initial attempt. Veijer’s determined solo lap later earned him pole with a time of 1m 39.101s, marking his first Moto2 pole and the first for a Dutch rider since Wilco Zeelenberg in 1991. Alex Escrig of Forward Racing closely followed Veijer, missing pole position by only 0.057s. Manuel Gonzalez, current championship leader, recovered from a wet FP2 session to claim the third position on the grid. Despite various riders showcasing their skills at Jerez, including Barry Baltus and Senna Agius, it was Veijer who emerged on top in qualifying. Alonso Lopez, in fifth, and David Alonso, in sixth, rounded out the top qualifiers behind Veijer, with Baltus securing the eighth spot on the grid. Additionally, Sergio Garcia, following an early fall, faces a double long lap penalty in the race due to his role in the COTA crash.
