Briton Sam Lowes (Kalex) got his first pole position of the season and the eighteenth of his sports career, being the fastest in the official classification for the German Grand Prix which is disputed tomorrow in Sachsenring.
Lowes, fourteenth in the provisional world rankings, has six consecutive “zeros” in the race, so he urgently needs a good result that allows him to improve his situation, bearing in mind that in previous seasons he had always been one of the contenders for the category title.
The Italian Celestino Vietti (Kalex), world leader, did not want to miss his chance and started the first classification very strongly, placing first with a time of 1:23.786 and chased just over two tenths of a second from the British Jake Dixon (Kalex), with the local Marcel Schrotter (Kalex), when there were still six minutes of the shootout ahead.
In the end they were the ones who went to the second classification, along with the Italian Tony Arbolino (Kalex).
The Spanish Jorge Navarro (Kalex) did not feel as comfortable as he would need to look for a good classification and, in the end, he had to settle for sixth position, or what is the same, twentieth in the starting formation, ahead of the Thai Somkiat Chantra (Kalex) and Spanish Mark Ramirez (MV Agusta).
In the last positions, respectively, the Spaniards finished Alex Toledo (Kalex) and Jeremy Alcove (Kalex).
Just a few thousandths faster than Vietti in the first classification, he lapped Albert Arenas (Kalex), on his first fastest lap, 1:23.765, followed at a tenth of a second by his own teammate, the British Jake Dixon, with Marcel Schrotter, who came from Q1, third, in the first stages of the second classification and which remained so almost until the
The British Sam Lowes (Kalex) was the next reference when he achieved a 1:23.493 on his sixth lap, which left him a thousandth of a second behind the absolute record of the circuit (1:23.397), which the Spaniard has held since 2019 Raul Fernandez (Kalex), but as a solid leader in that classification.
Nobody could lower the time of Sam Lowes, who achieved the eighteenth pole position of his sports career, followed by the Spanish Albert Arenas y Augusto Fernandez (Kalex), with Jake Dixon fourth.
Aron Canet (Kalex), despite all the problems and the morning crash he suffered which caused him to bleed from the nose, he managed to finish in sixth position, in the same second as the top five and between the German Schrotter and the Italian Arbolino .
The leader of the world championship, Celestino Vietti, finished in eighth position, a notable improvement compared to the first training sessions of the German weekend, which finished far behind, with Pedro Acosta (Kalex), eleventh, ahead of the also Spanish Alonso Lopez (Boscocuro) and Fermín Aldeguer (Boscocuro).
Manuel “Manugas” Gonzalez (Kalex) finished in eighteenth place.
