Aron Canet continued his upwar🃏d trajectory as he claimed his first Moto2 pole position at the Red Bull Ring f✨or the Styrian Grand Prix.

The rookie built on his previous best qualifying last week when he was fifth by securing pole in Moto2’s second Satur🍌day se💖ssion in Austria.

The Openbank Asp꧙ar rider set his best of 1m28.787s on his Speed Up bike midway through the session and it remained unmatched to the chequered flag. Canet found most of his advantage in the final sector while his rivals faded.

Red Bull KTM Ajo’s Jorge Martin, who came into qualifying with the best time after breaking the all time lap record in FP3, came closest. His best effort just 0.118s behind his f🤡ellow countryman.

Hie teammate Tetsuta Nagashima returned to the kind of form and racecraft that had seen him as early championship leader. The Japanese ride꧙r had graduat🉐ed from Q1 and used his track time to find the limit he could push to - he survived several wobbles on his way to completing the front row of the grid.

Augusto Fernandez was the best of the EG 0,0 Marc VDS riders in fourth. The Spaniard was only just faster t🌳han Macro Bezzecchi, with the Sky Racing Team VR46 riders again working together on track. Luca Marini had less success despitඣe his teammates best efforts to tow him around, losing a lot of time in the last section of track. He starts 12th.

Last weekends polesitter Remy Gardner couldn’t double up - an early crash halted his progress🌌 for Onexox TKKR SAG Team, thoꩲugh he persevered to climb to sixth.

Tom Luthi will look to keep🌊 his better form on the Liqui Moly Intact GP bike going from seventh.

Hector Garzo came through Q1𒐪 and immediately fired🍒 himself up to second early in the second part of qualifying. The Flexbox HP40 rider continued lapping well, leading him to eighth on the grid.

Jorgꦿe Navarro secured ninth for +EGO Sp☂eed Up, with Nicolo Bulega doing enough to complete the top ten for Federal Oil Gresini.

Sam Lowes (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) struggled to eleventh and appeared to be feeling the effects of his heavy FP3 fall which saw his bike catch fire. The British rider was sent to hospital for checks between sessionsꦯ.

Fellow Briton Jake Dixon crashed early in the session, but he too returned to track t꧅o set the 13th best time for Petronas Sprinta ♐Racing.

Following his accident last week, Italtrans’ Enea Bastianini was understanda🍸bly a little off the pace and starts the Styria Grand Prix from 15th.

Garzo’s la🧔st lap in Q1 prevented Xavi Vierge from progressing. The Petronas Sprinta rider was pushed back to fifth so will line up 19th on Sunday.

Marcel Schไrotter was a front row starter in Austria just last week, this week he sits in 21ꦜst.

Lorenzo Baldassarri also failed to progress, the Italian starts 23rd al😼ongside Moto3 champion Lorenzo Dalla Porta in 24th. Their compatriot Fabio Di 💮Giannantonio is 25th.

Alejandro Medina replaces Hafizh S𒁃yahrin at Openbank Aspar following his fall last weekend. The MotoE rider starts 29th.
