Adrian Fernandez (Leopard Racing) made a late dash for pole at the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia, with the fight for the front rows going down to the final seconds in classic Moto3 style. David Muñoz (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) and Joel Kelso (LEVELUP-MTA) complete the front row, with title fight protagonists Angel Piqueras (FRINSA - MT Helmets – MSI) and points leader Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) both looking for more on Sunday.
Piqueras, who led the way on Friday, will try and make a final stand in Lombok from P11, whereas Rueda takes aim at the crown from P9. Rueda is currently 93 points ahead and needs to be 100 or more clear by the end of the race to lift the crown.
Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) and Taiyo Furusato (Honda Team Asia) take fourth and fifth, the final two riders demoting provisional polesitter Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) in the final dash for the top. Quiles starts sixth.
David Almansa (Leopard Racing) and Luca Lunetta (SIC58 Squadra Corse) head Row 3 ahead of Rueda, with Guido Pini (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) slotting into tenth between the points leader and Piqueras.
