Xavi Vierge set the pole position in Moto2
Today’s qualifying sessions for the FIM CEV Repsol meeting in Albacete took place under patchy skies, with early cool temperatures gradually warming up as the day went on. In the European Moto2 Vierge posted the best time, as did Morales in the Superbike European Championship, the two riders earning pole positions in their respective races tomorrow.
Xavi Vierge (SPA-Tech3) will take the first place on the Moto2 European Championship grid ahead of Edgar Pons (SPA-Kalex) tomorrow. The Targobank Motorsport rider led in both sessions, breaking the streak of poles garnered by category leader, Edgar Pons (SPA-Kalex), who starts from second position this time round. As the afternoon session went on, Alan Techer (FRA-Tech 3) drove down his time bit by bit to finally set his fastest lap three from the end. Of the Superstock 600 riders, Marcos Ramírez stood out.

Carmelo Morales (SPA-Yamaha) led both sessions of the Superbike European Championship category, taking pole position with a time of 1:31.689.
