Tito Rabat dominates at Assen with yet another pole

Tito Rabat will start from pole position in tomorrow’s Moto2 Dutch TT at the historic TT Circuit Assen – whilst Marc VDS teammate Mika Kallio will start from the head of the second row, after qualifying in fourth place this afternoon.

Having towed Dominique Aegerter around to claim provisional pole at the halfway point in the session, Rabat managed to find a clear track on his final exit and posted the fastest lap of the weekend to claim his sixth, and the Marc VDS Racing Team’s seventh, pole position of the season.

The Moto2 World Championship leader goes into tomorrow’s 24-lap race determined to secure his fifth win of the season and increase further his advantage at the top of the series standings.

“I’m particularly happy to be starting from pole here at Assen tomorrow, because we’ve had to work hard for it this weekend. We’ve had some problems in free practice, but the team did a good job to find a solution each time. We need to find another small step for tomorrow in warm up, but we’re pretty much ready to race. We will need to see what the weather conditions are like tomorrow, because they’ve been pretty changeable so far this weekend, but a dry race would be good.”
