2013 Assen Moto2 Qualifying Results

For the third time of the 2013 Moto2 Championship, Tuenti HP 40’s Pol Espargaro achieved pole position.

His latest arrived Saturday ahead of the Iveco TT Assen. Joining Espargaro on the front row will be Came IodaRacing Project’s Johann Zarco and Marc VDS Racing Team’s Moto2 Championship leader Scott Redding.

The historic Assen TT Circuit has already been subject to much rain this weekend, not least Friday morning when the final Moto2 practice session was red flagged for half an hour due to a crash for QMMF Racing’s Rafid Topan Sucipto; the Indonesian rider would go on to qualify at the back of the grid despite an injured left foot.

Espargaro sits second in the riders’ standings to Redding, 35 points in arrears. His second pole in a row and third of the 2013 season came in the form of 1:38.734, edging out Zarco by just over a tenth of a second. Behind Redding, Row 2 is headed up by Espargaro’s teammate Esteve Rabat who suffered a crash during the session.

Xavier Simeon and Anthony West complete the second row for Desguaces La Torre Maptaq and QMMF Racing, respectively, while Row 3 will be occupied by NGM Mobile Racing’s Mattia Pasini, Marc VDS’ Mika Kallio and JiR Moto2’s Mike di Meglio. Independent wildcard Gino Rea will line up 24th.
