Diogo Moreira resumed his battle for the best time with Senna Agius from practice to set a new lap record while claiming his sixth pole position of the season ahead of the Moto2 pole position for the Australian Grand Prix, round nineteen of the championship.

The Italtrans rider had been fastest on Friday, with what was then new record pace on his Kalex, with the Australian pushing him all the way as they swapped position competing for the top time.

Q2 saw the duo pick up where they left off, with Moreira once again coming out on top, with another new record lap of 1m 1m 29.817s as he lapped solo confidently.

There has been an even faster lap for the Brazilian as he came across Daniel Munoz ahead on track for a tow to the line, but that run was cancelled by yellow flags.

Agius claimed a home front row in second, unusually not working with fellow Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP rider Manuel Gonzalez after they split on pit exit, finishing 0.011s slower.

The former championship leader had seen his early banker slip from second to tenth, then thirteenth as Moreira dominated, which lead to a frustrated and flustered next run being squandered, gesticulating at a slow Mario Aji ahead on track.

A final flying lap saw Gonzalez improve to third, cutting his own gap back to Moreira to 0.076s.

Jake Dixon chipped away at his time only to see the goalposts move, leaving the Elf Marc VDS rider fourth- the highest qualifying Boscoscuro runner.

Daniel Holgado was the best of the riders to come through Q1, with what was then new record pace, he went on to finish as top rookie in fifth for Aspar, picking up two positions on his last lap, passing fellow rookie and teammate David Alonso, who had gone straight to Q2 on his way to sixth.

Ayumu Sasaki was the first rider to take the chequered flag, leaving no room to answer the late run of improving laps, dropping to seventh for RW - Idrofoglia Racing.

Aron Canet was one of two fallers in the session, with no time set until his final lap, which the Fantic rider used to recover to eighth.

Darryn Binder continued his improved run with Italjet Gresini in ninth, Barry Baltus completed the top ten on the second Fantic Racing bike.
