The favorite delivered in qualifying for the Teruel GP: Sam Lowes starts on pole. Jorge Martín and Marco Bezzecchi are causing a stir. Thomas Lüthi and Marcel Schrötter are far behind.

Sam Lowes has managed to demonstrate the great form he has shown so far in qualifying. The Brit had already achieved the best time on Saturday of the previous week and won a day later. The signals are already good for a repetition at the Teruel GP. His pole time of 1: 51.296 minutes was a new lap record on the 5,078-kilometer circuit. Row 1 was the target. It has become pole position and our race pace is good too, ”Lowes said.

Jorge Navarro, who fell in the last stages, and Remy Gardner complete the front row, while World Championship leader Enea Bastianini must be content with sixth place. Sky VR46 Racing drivers Marco Bezzecchi and Luca Marini struggled and started from positions 14 and 11.

When time ran out, Jorge Martín (P12) and Bezzecchi faced off. Martin even grabbed the Italian’s arm and kicked his Kalex. Bastianini tried to mediate, but the bleak scenes still crawled around the curves. You must make an appointment with the race management.

Marcel Schrötter played no role in the decision on the first places. The 27-year-old from the German Liqui Moly Intact GP team will start the race, which will start on Sunday at 2.30 p.m., from position 17.

Xavi Vierge crashed in Q1. The Spaniard, still ill, had no opportunity to intervene in the fight for Q2 tickets. In return, Bo Bendsneyder, Marcel Schrötter, Luca Marini and Stefano Manzi advanced. Thomas Lüthi also achieved nothing in qualifying and will only start from P26.
