Pedro Acosta He has a long love affair with the Red Bull Ring that started with his time in the Red Bull Rookies Cup, won four races at this circuit and in 2021 he continued his winning streak in the Moto3 World Championship. This weekend of the Austrian GP he signed up for two of the three Moto2 free practices, all but the first one for Chantra and in the morning he broke the record for the best lap by four tenths with 1’33 “523. All Anything but signing pole position on Saturday would be a big surprise, although in the suspense of an initial crash, third pole position of the year for the championship leader who will start the race this Sunday with 2 -point advantage over Arbolino starting seventh.
Although in the hotter afternoon the track was noticeably slower, the driver from Puerto de Mazarrón started Q2 with a crash after three minutes in turn 2a, a drag of no consequence, his fourth year. He did not stop, but from pole position he decided to abort the turn and go to check, at the same point shortly after Canet fell.

Vietti with 1’34″445 had a provisional pole position of three tenths over Chantra at the time and Ogura, last year’s race winner, upped the ante to 1’34″400 when Acosta started his quick turn with Dixon one wheel closed at 1’34″040 putting things in their place by 0″360. A yellow flag for a crash by Lowes saw him lose the next best time, but repeated crashes showed the track was no longer for frills.
Acosta will be joined on the front row by Ogura and Vietti, two of the top drivers of the 2022 World Championship will once again appear in the lead with champion Augusto Fernández, Dixon, Chantra and Aldeguer will start from the second row with Arbolino, Arenas and González in the third column.
Regarding the other Spaniards, 10th Arón Canet, 11th Alonso López, two of the drivers who fell in Q2, 16th Sergio García Dols, 19th Izan Guevara, 22nd Borja Gómez, 23rd Marcos Ramírez, 25th Jeremy Alcoba, and Alex did not yet started. Escrig for fractured tibia in morning fall FP3.
