Czech mate: Kornfeil storms to home GP pole

In a Moto3™ session where a whole host of riders missed the chance to set a hot lap time at the end, the onus was left to Kornfeil and McPhee as they soared to P1 and P2, the Scot 0.419 behind. Marcos Ramirez (Bester Capital Dubai) secured third place on the grid after a stellar final lap, with Friday’s quickest man Philipp Oettl (Sudmetal Schedl GP Racing) spearheading the second row of the grid in fourth after also timing it just right to get quick lap in as the clocked ticked.

#StatAttack: MotoGP™ & MotorLand

- Spanish riders have had great success across all three GP classes at Aragon, winning 15 of the 21 GP races that have taken place. The only non-Spanish riders who have had a win at the circuit are: Casey Stoner (MotoGP™ in 2010 & 2011), Andrea Iannone (Moto2™ in 2010), Romano Fenati (Moto3™ in 2014), Miguel Oliveira (Moto3™ in 2015) and Sam Lowes (Moto2™ last year).

Iannone: “For us it’s important to start from the first row”

Rain in the desert? Sadly enough, yes. Saturday’s track action at Losail International Circuit was eventually called off completely after adverse weather both overnight and in the morning made track conditions too dangerous, meaning the grid is decided from combined practice times. That means Team Suzuki Ecstar’s Andrea Iannone begins his first GP with the Hamamatsu factory from P2. Source link
