Qualifying for the Moto3 race at the MotorLand circuit saw Jose Antonio Rueda pick up the pace to walk away with his third pole position of the seaꦯson with a new lap record ahead of the Aragon Grand Prix, round eight of the championship.

The Red Bull KTM Ajo rider was the best of the riders to mo𓆉ve straight to Q2, leading the way in Fr🌺iday Practice. Q2 saw him at the front of the pack with the tow he was handing out behind dropping the #99 bike to tenth.

Rueda dropped back into the pack for🎃 gains in his own, passing riders ahead for a new lap record of 1m 56.361s - but then pulled out wide running into a stoppie, slightly disturbing the riders behind.

B🀅ehind, Luca Lunetta had latched on and was clearly on the limit trying to keep in touch on his SIC58 Squadra Corse Honda. Already second at the time after a strong banker lap the ༺Italian went faster to keep the position, just 0.026s slower than Rueda.

Rookie Maximo Quiles moved through Q1 top and had a plan for the second sessio🍰n on his CFMoto Veil Aspar, to exit with the group. The Spanish teenager missed the pack on track, but his lap - which he described as ‘lonely’ saw him use 🎐the group ahead as a marker to chase down instead moving him to a front row start - his third of the season.

Another impressive rookie Alvaro Carpe was fourth quickest in the group on track behind teammate Rueda, with Q1 graduate Taiyo Furusato giving himself less work to do with a sec𒁏ond row start in fifth for Honda Team Asia.

The la⛦p record had already been lowered in the morning during FP2 to a blisterinꦬg lap from David Almansa, but his progress was stalled by a fall at turn seven. Returning to track the Leopard rider claimed seventh.

A late exit saw💜 Joel Kelso out of sync and riding solo on his way to eighth for LevelUp - MTA.

David Munoz had a huge downhill crash in the second sector, sent flying into the air, along with his Liqui Moly Dynavolt bi🐲ke. Like Almansa his mechanics worked fast for a return𓆉 to track, which saw the #64 place ninth.

Angel Piqueras has been slightly off the pace all weekend in Aragon so far, leaving the Frinsa - MT Helmets - MSI rider tenth, but ahead of teammate Ryusei Yamanak💧a, who was ๊twelfth after a trip through Q1.

The pair were sp✃lit on the timesheets by Scott Ogden, who ran wide up the inside slip road on his last run aboard the CIP Green Power machine, leaving him eleventh.

The third 💯faller in the session, Adrian Fernandez, crashed just after Munoz, but was unable to make it back out onto the circuit, leaving the Leopard rider 18th without a lap set aft𒊎er his early exit from the session.

Q1 - Quiles eases through, Yamanaka moves on from first Q1 visit

Showing no signs of injury after his Friday tumble, Quiles was happy to lead around his group on track, including teammate Dennis Foggia, Stefano Nepa and Vincente Perez, as the quartet filled the progr🌳ession slot💛s.

After moving into𒈔 the lead in the session, the Aspar rider pulled away to finish with the top time, ending his sess🅷ion sat in the pits.

Behind, Japanese rideಌrs Yamanka and Furusato were out on solo runs, which broke into the top four.

Yamanaka was in Q1 for the first time and moved in to sec🧜ond late on, while Sunday man Furusato picked up the p꧟ace on his own to avoid a repeat of SIlverstone, moving up in third.

Perez (17th) moved on with the fourth best time, but was later given 🐠a long lap penalty for re-joining the track unsafely in Q2.

Foggia and Nepa, who at one point lead the session thanks to a do𓆏uble slipstream in the group, were knocked out - so will fill 19th and ꦺ20th on the grid.

Pini was cautious in t⛎he earlier FP2 session, as were most of the Friday fallers, with the exception of Quiles.

Looking sore and less comfortable, the Dynavolt rider, who was second in the openinꦉg sessi𝓡on was a best of seventh, so starts 21st.

With Marcos Uriarte backও in action at MLav Racing (26th, behind teammate Eddie O’Shea in 24th), but off the pace after missing several rounds, there is just one alteration to the grid for the Moto3 Aragon race - with Perez remaining the choice as long term replacement for Matteo Bertelle at LevelUp - MTA.
