Ivan Ortola topped Moto3 World Championship qualifying Saturday at Mandalika International Street Circuit, in Indonesia. Riding his MT Helmets – MSI KTM on spec Pirelli tires, the Spaniard lapped the 2.67-mile track in 1:37.332. Not only did that earn Ortola pole position for the race on Sunday, it also eclipsed the All-Time Lap Record of 1:37.384 set by Luca Lunetta hours early during Saturday morning practice.

Dutchman Collin Vejier was second-best with a 1:37.589 on his Liqui Moly Intact GP Husqvarna.

Taiyo Furusato claimed the third and final spot on the front row with a 1:37.701 on his Team Asia Honda.
