Jorge Navarro continued his positive progression at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Saturday. After heading the first practice session on Day 1 and finishing eighth in the second, today the Spanish rider was again very fast and consistent.

Fifth in the morning session, in the afternoon the Repsol rider made steady progress in qualifying to set the third fastest time, allowing him to start from the front row of the grid tomorrow. His fastest time of 1:50.840 put him 0.700s off the pole lap set by Enea Bastianini.

The Moto3 race will be held at 11:00am Spanish time on Sunday.

“Today was a good day, like yesterday. We are working very well this weekend and I feel very comfortable on the bike, and that is being reflected every time we go out on track. The qualifying session was difficult because there was a lot of traffic, as often happens in Moto3, but in the end I managed to put in a clean lap and I’ll start from third tomorrow morning. The most important thing is the race and I think we’re ready.”
