Jorge Navarro needed to set the fastest ever lap of the Circuit Ricardo Tormo to claim po꧙le position for the Moto2 Valencia Grand Prix.

Clearly pushing his MB Conveyors Speed Up to the limit Navarro will sit at the head of a front row of mixed manufactureꦡrs after his blistering best of 1m 34.461s remained unbeaten after the final flying laps were completed.

Jorge Martin was the best of the KTM riders after seeing his Red Bull team-ma♏te Brad Binder dominate practice but was on fire in qualifying to finish just 0.017s behind the pole time.

Stefano Manz🎃i completed the mix by repeatedly bouncing back with a better time to take ꦦthird - a first front row appearance in Moto2 for both the MV Agusta Team and rider.

Luca Marini was the best ofಌ the Kalex riders in fourth for Sky Racing Team VR46, with Tom Lu♉thi (Dynavolt Intact GP) climbing from seventh to fifth on his final run to line up next to him on the grid.

The battle to be top rookie is far𒆙 from being decided with Fabio Di Giannantonio just six points ahead of Enea Bastianini in the championship standings. The Speed Up rider also holds the advantage on track - he sits in sixth despite a fall in Q2 while his compatriot will start behind him in ninth for Italtrans after coming through Q1.

After his electric practice pace had been enough to 🐽set a new record before it was bettered by Navarro in qualifying Brad Binder came up short when it mattered most - his advantage in the final sector was missing, th👍at left him a still respectable seventh on the second Red Bull KTM Ajo entry.

Tetsuta Nagashima, who was a front๊ row starter last time out in Sepang also🐎 failed to advance, he is one place further back in 21st for the SAG Team.
