Moto2: Daniel Holgado takes pole in Catalonia

Moto2 always surprises speed fans, and this time, the category came with the excitement of Daniel Holgado's first legitimate pole position, who in his debut year, broke the track record with a time of 1min41s549.

The Aspar Team driver had already started in first position in Austria, but due to a penalty for the championship leader, Manuel González. But this Saturday (06), the young Spanish driver had his merit and did it brilliantly at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

In Q1, Jorge Navarro was the first to trigger a caution with 9 minutes remaining. Meanwhile, David Alonso took the lead and set his fastest lap.

With nearly three minutes remaining, all drivers took to the track for their final run. David Alonso held on to first place with a time of 1:41.965, followed by Albert Arenas, Celestino Vietti, and Ayumu Sasaki.

Q2 continued smoothly until the final minutes, when Vietti, who had come from Q1, fell to the ground and hindered the lap of some drivers, while Daniel Holgado took the fastest time.

The competitiveness of Moto2 was clear, with 17 riders within the same second, and Brazilian Diogo Moreira was only in seventeenth position, 0.917 behind the leader.]

Moto2 returns this Sunday at 7:15 am for the Catalan Grand Prix!
