The CFMoto Inde Aspar rider then fell at turn one, hampering his progress, but with enough done for his first Moto2 pole, also the first time on the top spot on the grid for a Colombian rider in the class.

Home rider Filip Salac came closest to the new benchmark time, just 0.205s slower for American Racing, with another early lap.

There will be two Aspar bikes on the front row, with Daniel Holgado third fastest, but he also fell after setting his best lap, not long after team-mate Alonso, at turn eight.

Championship leader Manuel Gonzalez picked up a place in the closing stages to finish qualifying fourth quickest, just ahead of his team-mate at Liqui Moly Intact GP, Senna Agius.

Ivan Ortola has a long lap penalty for Sunday for causing a crash, after collecting Daniel Munoz in Hungary. The QJMotor rider will be looking for a strong start to limit the damage from sixth.

Izan Guevara was the best of the Boscoscuro riders in seventh for Blu Cru Pramac Yamaha, ahead of Celestino Vietti, who demanded his Speed RS bike turn the corner tighter in turn 13 than it did on Friday, wresting his Boscoscuro to eighth.

Alex Escrig was the top Forward rider in ninth, with Joe Roberts, the 2025 race winner, inside the top ten on the second American Racing bike.

Taiyo Furusato was 13th for Idemitsu Honda Team Asia, the top rookie qualifier in the session.
