Danny Kent secured his third pole position of the 2015 Moto3 season despite a crash midway through qualifying which left him with a nervous wait. The Briton has completely dominated free practice and carried that advantage into qualifying, seeing off championship rival Enea Bastianini by half a second.
In truth, the identity of the polesitter was never in any genuine doubt with Kent clocking a 1:27.189 on his first flying lap before breaking into the 1:26s moments later. With a quarter of an hour to go, Danny consolidated his position with a 1:26.420 but that would be his final lap of the session after losing the front end of his Leopard Honda at turn six, wiping out the unfortunate wildcard Maximilian Kappler in the process.
Although he was forced to watch the remainder of the session from the garage, Danny remained relaxed and it was easy to see why with countless riders snookering themselves by waiting for clear space. Enea Bastianini was among the riders that appeared particularly frustrated but the Italian found enough space, and enough pace, to climb from eighteenth to second.
Karel Hanika took third despite a crash of his own, giving Red Bull KTM Ajo a welcome boost after Miguel Oliveira was forced to withdraw through injury. CEV champion Fabio Quartararo will line up fourth ahead of Efren Vazquez and Andrea Locatelli while Red Bull Rookies champion Jorge Martin heads row three, just in front of Jorge Navarro and Niccolo Antonelli.
