Tito Rabat lines up next to teammate Kallio on Misano front row

Tito Rabat will start tomorrow’s 26-lap Moto2 race at Misano from second place on the grid.

After the rain dampened proceedings of yesterday, conditions were almost perfect today at Misano, with warm and sunny weather greeting the riders as they headed out for qualifying this afternoon.

Rabat made the early running, but it was teammate Kallio who topped the timesheet as the chequered flag brought qualifying to a close, despite encountering brake issues during the session.

With the front row of the grid separated by just 0.071s and the top ten within 0.5s of each other, tomorrow’s Moto2 Grand Prix promises to be a real battle.

“It’s good to be on the front row for tomorrow, but I’m not happy because Mika was faster today and I missed the focus I normally have in practice and qualifying. We had some issues with the bike, which the team did a good job of sorting out, but by then we were into the last minutes of qualifying. It will be a tough battle tomorrow, as the top ten are so close on pace, but I’ll be pushing as hard as always for the win.”
