Acosta unstoppable in Q2 despite early crash

It was a pole position to remember for Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Ajo) as the young prospect stamped his authority on Moto2™, completely undeterred from an early session off. The Spaniard's 1:34.040 was enough to deny Ai Ogura (IDEMITSU Honda Team Asia) pole position. The Japanese rider has shown strong form at the Red Bull Ring. Celestino Vietti (Fantic Racing) will line up alongside Ogura and Acosta on the front row as the Italian bagged P3 in Q2.

It was a plot twist early on as the favourite for pole position Pedro Acosta hit the deck. After smashing the lap record in Practice 3, the Championship leader wasn't going to let a small off affect his confidence. After getting his KTM Kalex machine back to pitlane and heading back out onto the circuit, the Spaniard went straight to the top of the timesheets with no one able to better the untouchable pace of the #37. 

Jake Dixon (Autosolar GASGAS Aspar Team) has been there or thereabouts all weekend and will head row 2 at the Austrian Grand Prix in P4. Somkiat Chantra (IDEMITSU Honda Team Asia) showed strong form in Practice but was unable to put it together in Qualifying. The Thai rider will start from 5th place on the grid ahead of Fermin Aldeguer (CAG SpeedUp) and Tony Arbolino (Elf MarcVDS Racing Team).

Make sure not to miss any of the Moto2™ action set to commence on Sunday at 12:15 local time (GMT +2).
