Tito Rabat fifth on Aragon Moto2 grid

Tito Rabat will start from fifth position on the second row of the grid for tomorrow’s Aragon GP, after losing time to a crash during qualifying.

Having led the way early in qualifying, Rabat had a minor crash with 15 minutes to go and lost time as the mechanics made quick repairs to the bike.

The 25-year-old Spaniard then fell foul of the normal Moto2 qualifying traffic as he tried to put in his flying laps, eventually finishing fifth.

It’s only the third race this season that Rabat won’t start from the front row, the last being Silverstone where he went on to win.

Tito Rabat // 5th // 1’54.224
“The conditions changed quite a lot for qualifying, with a slightly lower track temperature and a bit more wind, but no excuses, it was the same for everyone. Also, my normal focus wasn’t quite there today and I didn’t push when I should have done. But the bike feels good, so tomorrow I need to make a good start from the second row and then just do my best in the race.”
