Vietti takes pole position at the Red Bull Ring ahead of Canet and leader Garcia Dors

Italian Celestino Vietti He took his second pole position of the year in Moto2, but the qualifying session was red flagged due to a fall by Manu González in a similar accident to the one in the morning, which ruled him out of qualifying. The remainder of the GP remains to be seen, and second-placed Ogura Ai can still qualify if she is ready in time for Aragon. Aron Canet, 58,000ths behind, and world championship leader Sergio Garcia Dors will occupy the front row of the grid.

Ai Ogura He was confirmed as a MotoGP rider on Thursday. Track House Aprilia, He had taken part in two of the three training sessions at the Red Bull Ring, but on the third this morning he suffered a very serious accident in which he broke his right hand again (this time the third and fourth metacarpals, which did not require surgery), ruining the start of his last season.

He came in second at the World Cup, 18 points behind his teammate. Sergio Garcia Doles This morning they went into their third training session of the weekend with less and more practice, and it will be a matter of who can score enough points to sign at the top of the Championship on Sunday.

Garcia He initially reduced his time to 1 minute 33 seconds and then, after two hard turns, set the provisional third fastest time when he had an accident on the exit of the chicane. Manu Gonzalez This led to a red flag 9 minutes 54 seconds into the session, at the point where Ogura had been injured in the morning and was chasing the unmarked Kane. Luckily for the Spaniard from Madrid, he had set a better time. The Japanese man managed to get out of Turn 2 on his feet thanks to the airbag and, naturally, a head injury meant a direct trip to the medical centre.

Vietti and Canet are both 58,000ths behind, but they beat Garcia Dols’ time by just over three minutes and are not making any moves in the rankings. Fermin Aldeguer Coming from the repechage, it was very frustrating to have another problem on another stop-and-go circuit. Albolino, who was in 4th place, lost 3 positions due to irresponsible behaviour in the morning practice, while Lopez, Dixon and Chantra gained positions.
