Aldeguer goes half a second clear to take pole

Fermin Aldeguer (Beta Tools SpeedUp) has done it again in Moto2™. The PETRONAS Grand Prix of Malaysia saw the Spaniard set a 2:05.288 during qualifying which was enough to secure pole position at Sepang by a huge half second margin. Joining Aldeguer on the front row will be Celestino Vietti (Fantic Racing) who bagged 2nd place despite hitting the deck. Manuel Gonzalez (Correos Prepago Yamaha VR46 Mastercamp) will line up alongside them on the front row after he finished 0.025s behind Vietti in 3rd place, and the Spaniard has looked strong from the off in Sepang. 

Aron Canet (Pons Wegow Los40) suffered a small off and just missed out on a front-row start by 0.038s as he took P4, but he also crashed under Yellow Flags so recieved a Long Lap for the race. Marcos Ramirez' (OnlyFans American Racing ) great form continued as he rounded out the top five, just ahead of Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Ajo). The Championship leader needs to finish fourth or higher on Sunday to lift the title, regardless of rival Tony Arbolino (Elf MarcVDS Racing Team), who starts just behind him at the head of Row 3.

Jake Dixon (Inde GASGAS Aspar Team) is alongside Arbolino, and Somkiat Chantra (IDEMITSU Honda Team Asia) locks out that row. Joe Roberts (Italtrans Racing Team) rounds out the top ten.

Make sure not to miss any of the Moto2™ action set to commence on Sunday at 13:15 local time (GMT +8)! Will we see a World Champion crowned?
