Canet, despite falling, took pole position against Acosta

Yes Deniz Oncu He has been the king of the weekend in the small category and fulfilled the predictions to finish in the pole position this Saturday, the Murcian Pedro Acosta He was in the same position in Moto2 at the Italian GP. He dominated all the free practice sessions although his margin in the combined was smaller: 0″192 over Aldeguer and 0″260 over Dixon. And in the battle for the final pole position on Saturday at the Mugello Autodromo, the Valencian edged him by 0″159 Aron Canet despite the fact that he was unable to complete the scheduled session due to a fall. Canet, Acosta and Lowes will complete the front row of the grid, the same positions as last year at Mugello.

Last year, in his rookie year, starting second on the grid, ‘Tiburón de Mazarrón’ took the win with a margin of 4″051 over second, Roberts, so even without pole position the front row was worth it for him. This year he also has a promise that this Sunday he will start the race with a 25-point deficit in the general with respect to leader Tony Arbolino, covered as usual on Friday and Saturday – starting he in tenth – and on Sunday he shows his nickname ‘Squalo di Garbagnate’, the Shark of Garbagnate, never before has the Moto2 category been in the hands of two ‘sharks’.

With the best time in his pocket (1’50″796) riding behind Lowes Arón Canet crashed at turn 3 with six minutes to go, a nasty fall that hurt his hand. But the track got worse from time to time- once and maintained pole position until the end of the scheduled session by 0″150 to Acosta and 0″162 to Lowes. Aldeguer will start in eighth, Alonso López in ninth and World Championship leader Tony Arbolino in 11. González in 11th, Alcoba 12th, Arenas 15th and García Dols 16th.

The Q1 playoffs were won by Roberts, second in the 2022 race, Ogura, Jeremy Alcoba and Binder. 24º Izan Guevara, 25º Borja Gómez, 27º Marcos Ramírez.
