Ai Ogura was fastest in Moto2 World Championship qualifying Saturday at Silverstone Circuit, in England. Riding his MT Helmets – MSI Boscoscuro on Pirelli spec tires, the Japanese star navigated the 3.7-mile (5.9 km) road course in 2:02.940. That was good enough to top the field of 31 riders and to smash the All-Time Lap Record of 2:03.433 set by Aron Canet on Saturday morning.
Canet was second-best in qualifying with a time of 2:02.992 on his Fantic Racing Kalex, and Diogo Moreira claimed the third and final spot on the front row with a 2:03.123 on his Italtrans Racing Kalex.
American Joe Roberts qualified ninth with a 2:03.289 – just 0.349 second behind the pole-sitter – on his OnlyFans American Racing Team Kalex.
