The #80 was just short of that pace in qualifying b♔ut his blistering speed still brought pole position.

That came after he allowed Ivan Ortola♕ to follow behind for the whole session. When it came to th💃e crunch Alonso simply ran a deeper line and lost his rival, pulling away for the session best time of 1m 54.194s.

Running behind brought the MT Helmets - MSI rider second, 0.247 seconds slower after he managed to𒅌 take a session away from Alonso when he secured pole for the Catalan race.

Collin Veijer was running solo and that a♍llowed him to top the timesheets twice for Liqui Moly Intact GP before a cra𝔉sh stalled his progress. His time remained good enough for a front row start in third.


2023 winner Daniel Holgado was playing catch-up after losing his title lead last round, only improving to 13th by P3, but doing enough to move straight to Q2. His best effort needed a slipstream from Ryusei Yamanaka to c⭕laim fourth.

That allowed him to pass the time of his Red Bull KTM Tech3 teammate, rookie Jacob Roulstone who made great progress both alone ⛦and in behind the Spaniard.

Taiyo Furusato had the sixth best ti𒅌me, but was over a second off pole for Honda Team Asia.

Jose Antonio Rueda has been one of the rider able to keep pressure and pace on Alonso over recent rounds despite his earlier illness. This time the🌜 Red Bull KTM Ajo rider had no reply in seventh.

Joel Kelso went on to be the best of the Q1 graduates, moving on to eight♎h for BOE Motorsports.

Riccardo Rossi made great progress over the weekend, outside the top twenty early on Frida🧜y, the CIP Green Power had found his way to ninth by the end of qualifying.

Stefano Nepa had slotted in behind Alonso and Nepa but couldn’t kee🎐p pace. Chasing around behind saw the LevelUp - MTA ride🍬r climb into the top ten.

Ryusei Yamanaka was closest♔ to Alonso in the morning session but dropped away in Q2 to finish eleventh on the second MT Heꦆlmets bike.


Q1- Ogden moves on in style

Scott Ogden got the best run as the clock ticked down to progress with the best time, The Britishꦉ rider tucked in behind Tachakorn Busari on track into turn one and slipstreamed🐓 past for a strong start to his final run before powering away.

Q2 saw him still in the pits as the clock ticked down, so Ogden, with limited 🍒track time only moved on to 17th.

His M🦹Lav teammate Joshua Whatley also improved in behind, but his personal best was only enough for ninth in the session, equal to ✨23rd on the grid.

David Munoz (BOE Motorsports, 13th), early session leader Joel Kelso and Fili🌟ppo Farioli (SIC58 Squadra Corse, 15th) took the remaining progre🌠ssion places.

Joel Esteban just missed out in fifth, but in reality was over a s🐈econd away from ℱOgden’s time for CFMoto Valresa Aspar, leaving him 19th.

Early session leaඣder Nicola Carraro 🐼(Level UP - MTA) dropped back to seventh in the session.


David Almansa, who fell in the P3 session in the morn✨ing, was also unable to bridge the gap, finishing tenth for the Rivacold Snipers team.
