David Almansa (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) has a whopping four tenths in hand after qualifying in Thailand as the Spaniard smashed the lap record to secure the first pole of the season. His 1:40.088 puts him clear of Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) in P2, with Adrian Fernandez (Leopard Racing) taking third.
Pole was decided late on as Almansa’s dash denied Carpe, with the sophomore having been top of the pile for some time. Max Quiles (CFMoto Gaviota Aspar Team) was the first to lead the session but was forced to settle for fourth, with fifth going the way of a stunning debut from Indonesian rider Veda Pratama (Honda Team Asia). He also led the way briefly earlier in Q2.
David Muñoz (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) moved up from Q1 to take P6, with the top ten completed by Ryusei Yamanaka (AEON Credit - MT Helmets – MSI), Scott Ogden (CIP – Green Power), Guido Pini (Leopard Racing) and Casey O’Gorman (SIC58 Squadra Corse).
