Sergio Garcia signed the pole position in the Moto3 class qualifications of the Algarve Grand Prix. The Aspar team rider with his Gas Gas stopped the clock at 1’47 ″ 274 ahead of John McPhee’s Honda by just 17 thousandths. Garcia was in full battle for the world title, but the kidney injury he suffered in Austin wiped out the remaining chances of chasing Pedro Acosta and Dennis Foggia. Today’s pole, however, increases the regret for an injury that prevented him from playing his cards to the end.
Adrian Fernandez of Max Biaggi Racing Team completes the first row, opens the second Dennis Foggia, who will therefore have a minimum strategic advantage over the championship leader Pedro Acosta, which instead will start in 14th position from the fifth row of the starting grid. In April Acosta had won right in front of Foggia. As for the other blue bearers, Niccolò Antonelli finished in eighth place, 13th Romano Fenati, 15th Alberto Surra and 16th Andrea Migno.
