After picking up a second victory of the season in Austin, Jorge Martín’s good form continued at the Circuit de Jerez – Ángel Nieto today with his second pole position of the season. The Spaniard topped a close qualifying session with a best lap of 1’46.193 heading a group of 24 riders within the same second. German rider Philipp Öttl and Italy’s Fabio di Giannantonio complete the front row, ahead of an all-Italian second row in Niccolò Antonelli, Marco Bezzecchi and Ángel Nieto Team rider Andrea Migno.

“We started strongly in qualifying, running up at the top in the early stages but then we struggled to find those extra couple of tenths that would have given us a much better position. We have to keep working to find them. Tomorrow we will have to come through the pack, it’s a shame we are starting so far back because our pace is good.”
