Raúl Fernández wants to rush all his options to be world champion of Moto2. The driver from Madrid has once again proved overwhelming after one lap at Austin, achieving a new pole position that leaves him on the verge of achieving a victory that would be absolutely historic and would relaunch his candidacy.
If Fernández wins the race in Austin, he will equalize with Marc Márquez as a rookie rider in Moto2 with the most victories. And not only that, but he would get very close to a Remy Gardner who still continues to measure up and maintains his consistency: he will start from second on the grid in Austin.
Surprise from Cameron Beaubier, who will start fifth at home
Fernández's time has been a real madness. The Spanish stopped the clock at 2: 08.979, only one tenth slower than the record of the circuit in the category, which is held by Álex Rins. The future of the championship will depend to a great extent on tomorrow's race, since Fernández needs to close the gap.
Rounding out the front row of the grid is Fabio Di Giannantonio, a future MotoGP rider who has been missing for some time, but seems to be aiming to return to the podium in Austin. Will have to fight it with Marco Bezzecchi, the third driver who still has mathematical title optionsAlthough I will probably lose them in Austin.
Who no longer has any is Sam Lowes, who in 2021 has returned to the path of falls and in the Austin classification he has not failed to your appointment. He will start sixteenth, so he will have to take risks if he wants to come back in tomorrow's race. Augusto Fernández, his partner, starts sixth.
To realize the importance of getting to know the circuit in the motorcycle championship, it is enough to look at who has slipped into fifth place. Is about Cameron Beaubier, American rider, five-time Superbike champion in MotoAmerica and that the Austin circuit is known like the back of your hand.
The third row of the grid has been reserved exclusively for first-time riders in the category. Tony Arbolino will start seventh, Ai Ogura has fallen to eighth position and the ninth will start the current Moto3 world champion, Albert Arenas. The streak continues until the tenth position, where is Celestino Vietti.
Good things were expected from Arón Canet in Austin but he has no feeling and has even crashed. It will come out fourteenth. Although for Calvary the one who is suffering Jorge Navarro, who has been in Q2 but is going to start seventeenth after having electrical problems on the motorcycle and also fall.
