Moto2 : Moreira Takes Pole Position At Phillip Island

Diogo Moreira was the man to beat during Moto2 World qualifying Saturday at Phillip Island, in Australia. The Brazilian rider topped qualifying session with a new lap record time. Riding his Pirelli-shod Italtrans Racing Team Kalez, Moreira navigated the 2.76-mile (4.45 km) course in 1:29.817, breaking his own’s 2025 All-Time Lap Record of 1:30.307 he set Friday afternoon during the practice session.

Home Hero Senna Agius was second-best with a 1:29.828 on his Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP Kalex.

His teammate, Manuel Gonzalez claimed the third and final spot on the front row with a 1:29.893.

Row-two qualifiers included ELF Marc VDS’s Jake Dixon (1:29.993) CFMOTO Power Electronics’s Daniel Holgado (1:29.995) and David Alonso (1:30.107).

American Joe Roberts finished the qualifying session 19th on his OnlyFans American Racing Kalex.

More, from a press release issued by Dorna:

Moreira pips Australia’s Agius to Phillip Island pole. The Brazilian beat the Aussie by just 0.011s and Championship leader Gonzalez earns front row start.

Diogo Moreira (Italtrans Racing Team) will start the Moto2 Australian Grand Prix from pole position on Sunday after a dramatic, tantalising Q2 played out at Phillip Island. Home hero Senna Agius will line up in the middle of the front row, with his Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP teammate Manuel Gonzalez completing a top three that was split by a slender 0.076s.

Moreira’s 1:29.817 was the first sub-1:30 lap time around the famous Island in Moto2 as the #10 enjoyed a flawless session – but the same can’t be said for Aron Canet (Fantic Racing). The rider third overall crashed at Turn 4 early in the session, so it was a race against time to get the #44 back out on track.

In the end they did, for one lap, as a fascinating fight for pole unfolded. Moreira ended up beating his lap time but it was chalked off for yellow flags, with both Agius and Gonzalez going so close to a Saturday P1. It wasn’t enough for pole position, but that’s a juicy Moto2 front row for the Grand Prix – and one to celebrate for Agius on home turf.

The second row is stacked too. Jake Dixon (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) lines up in P4 ahead of Q1 graduate Daniel Holgado, with the latter’s CFMOTO Power Electronics Aspar teammate David Alonso completing that second row. Ayumu Sasaki (RW-Idrofoglia Racing GP) is P7, one place ahead of Canet, who nailed that flying lap at the end of the session to jump into the top 10. That could be the most important lap of his season so far.

With Barry Baltus (Fantic Racing) qualifying in P10, one place behind Darryn Binder (ITALJET Gresini Moto2), the top runners in Moto2’s 2025 title chase are in the mix. Tune into the Moto2 Grand Prix at 13:15 local time to see if there are any more championship twists before we head to Malaysia.

Moto3 : Kelso Claims Pole Position At Phillip Island

Joel Kelso earned pole position during Moto3 World Championship qualifying Saturday at Phillip Island, in Australia. Riding his LevelUp MTA KTM on Pirelli control tires, the home hero turned a lap time of 1:34.056. Not only was that good enough to lead the 26-rider field, it was also good enough to eclipse David Almansa’s 2025 All-Time Lap Record of 1:34.726 he set Friday afternoon during the practice session.

Jose Antonio Rueda was the best of the rest with a 1:34.147 on his Red Bull Ajo KTM, and Collin Veijer claimed the third and final spot on the front row with a 1:34.281 on his SIC58 Squadra Corse Honda.

Row-two qualifiers included Honda Team Asia’s Taiyo Furusato (1:34.406) Kelso’s teammate, Matteo Bertelle (1:34.447) and Rueda’s teammate, Alvaro Carpe (1:34.492).

More, from a press release issued by Dorna:

Kelso takes historic home pole at Phillip Island. The first Australian in Moto3 history to head the grid on ‘The Island’, the #66 hopes a maiden victory can follow on from a first pole of 2025.

A first pole of the season and what a place to do it; Joel Kelso (LEVELUP-MTA) was unstoppable, becoming the first Australian to take pole in Moto3 at Phillip Island. Behind him, newly-crowned World Champion Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) and Mandalika podium finisher Luca Lunetta (SIC58 Squadra Corse) whilst the rider second in the Championship, Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI) was only 14^th.

Moving through from Q1 into Q2, Matteo Bertelle (LEVELUP-MTA) had over a quarter of a second advantage ahead of Nicola Carraro (Rivacold Snipers Team), Marco Morelli (GRYD – MLav Racing) and New Zealander Cormac Buchanan (DENSSI – BOE Motorsport. Debutant Brian Uriarte (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) missed out by just 0.111s. With a new lap record straight out of the blocks, Rueda set a 1’34.608 but went on to beat it further on his second lap, setting a 1’34.440, just ahead of Kelso and super-sub Joel Esteban (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team).

As the second run began with just over six minutes to go, it was time for big improvements from the likes of Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) and Friday’s fastest David Almansa (Leopard Racing), who found themselves on the fifth row provisionally. Second in the Championship, Piqueras also needed a lap, with the #36’s first attempt only good enough for 18^th. Rueda improved again but the #66 of Kelso was likewise flying, moving the goal posts to set a 1’34.056. There was a late fall for Guido Pini (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) at Turn 4 but he was OK.

Nobody could touch Kelso though who took his fifth consecutive front row and first pole of the season. Rueda lines up second on the grid whilst the front row is completed by Lunetta who denied Taiyo Furusato (Honda Team Asia) with a late lap. Bertelle took fifth place whilst the second row is completed by Carpe – who managed to improve his position late on, unlike compatriot Almansa, who starts 18^th. Other names to keep an eye on include Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) in P9, home-hero Jacob Roulstone (Red Bull KTM Tech 3) in 13^th and Piqueras in 14^th.

MotoGP : Quartararo On pole Position At Phillip Island

Fabio Quartararo earned pole position during MotoGP World Championship qualifying on Saturday at Phillip Island, in Australia. Riding his Monster Energy Yamaha YZR-M1, the Frenchman broke Marco Bezzecchi’s 2025 All-Time Lap Record of 1:26.492 he set Friday afternoon with a time of 1:26.465 around the 2.76-mile (4.45 km) circuit during Qualifying Two (Q2) on Saturday.

Marco Bezzecchi was the best of the rest with a 1:26.496 on his Aprilia Racing RS-GP25, and home hero Jack Miller claimed the third and final spot on the front row with a 1:26.708 on his Prima Pramac Yamaha YZR-M1.

Row-two qualifiers included Trackhouse Aprilia’s Raul Fernandez (1:26.851), Red Bull KTM Factory’s Pedro Acosta (1:26.874) and BK8 Gresini Ducati’s Alex Marquez (1:26.920)

QualifyingResults motpogp

More from a press release issued by Dorna:

Quartararo beats Bezzecchi to last-gasp Island pole, Miller bags front row. The Yamaha star beats the Italian by just 0.031s as the home hero comes through Q1 to slot his YZR-M1 on the front row at Phillip Island.

Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP), take a bow. A new all-time lap record around Phillip Island is what it took to beat Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) to pole position, and that’s exactly what the Frenchman threw down. That 1:26.465 from El Diablo was 0.031s quicker than the Italian’s best effort, and joining the duo on the front row will be home hero Jack Miller (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP). The Australian dug deep to come through Q1 and delight the home faithful, setting us up good and proper for the Tissot Sprint and Grand Prix.

Q1: Aldeguer and Miller earn Q2 spots

Home hero Miller (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP) found himself in Q1 and was the early pacesetter after the opening laps were chucked in on the Island. The session favourite was arguably Fermin Aldeguer (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) though and it was the Indonesian GP winner who sailed to P1 with a 1:27.201, with Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) slotting into P2 after the first stints were done.

0.055s split Aldeguer and Binder, with Miller 0.137s away from the top two in P3. Could the Australian wriggle his way into Q2? He was certainly giving it a good go. As Aldeguer extended his advantage at the top with a 1:27.071, Miller climbed above Binder into P2 to go 0.144s adrift of Aldeguer. But it wasn’t over yet.

Binder was on a charge but just ahead, Miller improved again to beat Binder’s time by 0.029s, with the top three split by 0.038s heading onto the final lap. All three of those riders were done, but Johann Zarco (CASTROL Honda LCR) wasn’t. Setting a red sector through split two, the Frenchman was on course for the top two but Zarco encountered traffic through Turn 7 and 8, with Binder looking like the guilty party – in Zarco’s eyes anyway. The HRC rider was forced to abandon the lap and with that, it was Aldeguer and Miller venturing into Q2.

Q2: Quartararo leaves it late to oust Bezzecchi

And then, it was pole position shootout time at Phillip Island. Leading the way early doors was Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) but on his second flyer, the #73 was down at Turn 4. Meanwhile, to the sound of plenty of Australian cheers, Miller stuck his Yamaha on provisional pole with a 1:26.885, and Pol Espargaro (Red Bull KTM Tech3) climbed into P2!

Marquez got his Ducati fired up again to bring it back to the box, but by the time he did, the rider second in the championship had been shuffled down to P6, then P7. It was Miller from Espargaro from Raul Fernandez (Trackhouse MotoGP Team), with Aldeguer fronting the second row alongside Luca Marini (Honda HRC Castrol) and Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team).

Aldeguer then went P2 after setting the exact same lap time as Espargaro, with Turn 4 seeing Bezzecchi vent plenty of frustrations at Marini and Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team). At this stage, the pre-session favourite was down in P11, one place behind Pecco, as we then geared up for the final five minutes of Q2.

On his out-lap, Miller had an unwanted trip into the Turn 2 gravel trap, but he kept it upright. Now, attention turned to Bezzecchi. And sure enough, the Italian rose to P1 with a 1:26.565, before Alex Marquez crashed for a second time. And this one was a lot quicker. Turn 1 bit the Spaniard, thankfully he was alright, but that was his chances of a front row gone.

Back on track, Bezzecchi stretched his legs again to cement pole position, as Acosta climbed up to P2 on his penultimate lap. That shoved Miller down to P3, but another Yamaha was flying. Quartararo was up through sector three and racing towards the line, we held our breath to see if the Frenchman could oust Bezzecchi. And he did. A stunner. Quartararo slammed home that 1:26.465 to clinch a late pole position in Australia, and Miller improved on his last lap too, meaning the #43 earned his first front row since the 2023 Japanese GP.

Your front four rows for the Australian GP

That was a proper qualifying session on the Island. Fernandez was another late improver to claim P4, with Acosta and Alex Marquez making up Row 2 in P5 and P6. Aldeguer launches his victory attack from P7, Espargaro joins his compatriot on Row 3 in P8, with Marini ninth and the top HRC rider. Di Giannantonio spearheads the fourth row in P10 ahead of Bagnaia – who was forced to sit up and out of his time attack at the end of the session – and Alex Rins (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP).

Coming up: Tissot Sprint time at Phillip Island

Doesn’t need to be said, but we’ll do it anyway: don’t miss the Tissot Sprint from Phillip Island! Quartararo on pole, Bezzecchi the favourite, and a home hero on the front row. 15:00 local time, be there.

BSB: Redding Holds Off Ray at Brands Hatch

Scott Redding emerged on top after the Bennetts British Superbike Championship Pre-Qualifying session at Brands Hatch as the 2019 champion moved closer to the lap record, holding off title contender Bradley Ray by just 0.094s ahead of tomorrow’s opening race.

Ray had set the benchmark, but the Hager PBM Ducati rider was gathering momentum and his final lap of the session put him ahead of his rivals as he bids to continue his winning performances from the previous three rounds.

Ray was ahead of his championship rival Kyle Ryde, the defending champion holding sixth place and climbing the times in the final moments after sitting precariously close to being in the drop zone in tenth ahead of the closing five minutes.

Ryde holds a 30-point advantage ahead of this weekend’s crucial three races on the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit with 105 points up for the taking.

Charlie Nesbitt had another strong session for MasterMac Honda in third place, holding the position ahead of Christian Iddon and Max Cook as the AJN Steelstock Kawasaki teammates closed down their opposition.

Glenn Irwin was just adrift of his Nitrous Competitions Racing Yamaha teammate Ryde, holding seventh place from his long established rival Tommy Bridewell. Leon Haslam and Danny Kent completed the top ten with Lee Jackson and Rory Skinner the final two riders qualifying directly into tomorrow’s Bandero Café Shoot Out Qualifying 2 session ahead of race one.

Bennetts British Superbike Championship, Brands Hatch, Pre Qualifying result:

Scott Redding (Hager PBM Ducati) 1m:24.733s

SCOTT REDDING – HAGER PBM DUCATI

“Coming back to Brands Hatch for the second time this year for me is another take on racing because I actually have some data to go by, some set up, which is different to what we’ve been doing the last few races.

“In the afternoon I felt a bit better, but not fully to my potential and then we made a few changes to the bike and then I was able to make a step that I felt was clearly better. I could build on that and I chucked it into the 1m24s, which I was pretty stoked with. I come in and stayed first so I was happy with that today.

“I’m not sure what the strategy will be from the other guys and I don’t really care, I’m just going to try and stay out of time really and do my thing. To finish the season off with a triple win would be top tier.”

2025 FIM MiniGP World: Team Canada Set For Finals in Valencia

Newmarket, Ontario – Canada’s top young road racing talents are set to challenge the world as the 2025 FIM MiniGP World Finals kick off from November 11-14 at the famed Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, Spain.

Representing Team Canada are two standout riders who dominated the national qualifying series: Jager Stockill, an 12-year-old from Ontario and vice-champion in the 2024 Canadian Championship, and Ethan Reardon, a 10-year-old phenom from Alberta. Both riders earned their spots on the world stage by finishing first and second, respectively, in the FIM MiniGP Canada Series.

The Canadian program, organized and managed by former FIM World Endurance rider, Toni Sharpless, continues to build a formidable pipeline for young riders. This marks the third consecutive year Canada has qualified for the World Finals, demonstrating growth and development each year.

“The progression of our riders year-over-year is our primary focus,” said Team Manager Toni Sharpless. “Having Jager, with his finals experience from last year, and Ethan, who is already competing in Spain, gives us a significant advantage. They know the level of competition and the intensity of the event. This year, our riders can hit the ground running from the first free practice session, fully prepared to deliver their best performance from the start.”

The Canadian program has already become a springboard to international careers. Alumni from the 2023 team, Michael Galvis and Ben Hardwick, have since graduated to compete in European championships, with Galvis in the FIM MiniGP Spain Series and Hardwick in the British Talent Cup. Lincoln Scott, who represented Canada alongside Stockill in 2024, is now competing in the prestigious CIV JuniorGP in Italy.

This year, Team Canada is focused on a clear goal: breaking into the coveted Super Final on Thursday, a feat narrowly missed in the past two years.

“The entire 2025 team—riders, families, and crew—is fully committed to this mission,” Sharpless added. “The dedication has been incredible. Our riders are prepared, focused, and ready to show the world what Canadian talent can achieve. We’re excited to see them compete at the highest level.”

WorldSSP : Casadei Tops Superpole Qualifying In Spain

Mattia Casadei topped FIM Supersport World Championship Superpole qualifying Friday afternoon at Jerez, in Spain. Riding his Motozoo ME air Racing MV Agusta F3 800 RR on Pirelli control tires, Casadei lapped the 2.75-mile (4.42 km) course in 1:41.959 to top the field of 34 riders and earn pole position.

Can Oncu was the best of the rest with a 1:42.305 on his BluCru Evan Bros Yamaha YZF R9, and Jaume Masia earned the third and final spot on the front row with a lap time of 1:42.348 on his Orelac Racing Verdnatura Ducati Panigale V2.

Former MotoAmerica Supersport regular Valentin Debise of France was 12th with a 1:42.869 on his Renzi Corse Ducati Panigale V2.

More from a press release issued by Dorna:

SURPRISES AT JEREZ: Casadei storms to pole in Spain, Oncu second with 2025 Champion Manzi 11th. It’s four manufacturers in the top five as the dust settles on WorldSSP’s first day at Jerez.

With the Riders’ Championship wrapped up, the FIM Supersport World Championship’s riders return to Spain for the final round of their season at the beloved Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto, Andalucia. The Pirelli Spanish Round looks like it’ll host a thrilling final chapter as Mattia Casadei (Motozoo ME Air Racing) took pole in the Tissot Superpole session. The Italian is joined on the front row by Can Oncu (Yamaha BLU CRU Evan Bros Team) and Jaume Masia (Orelac Racing VerdNatura), the latter making his return to the front row for the first time in five rounds.

SUPERPOLE STRENGTH: Two poles in five rounds for Casadei in 2025

Mattia Casadei sat mired down near the bottom of the order until clocking a 1’42.560s time which shot him up to provisional pole position. As the session came down to the final minutes, he improved it even further to a 1’41.959s time, earning the Italian his second-ever WorldSSP pole. Can Oncu looked a little rusty early in the session after his crash in Free Practice, where he was seen icing his neck after a high-speed Turn 11 spill. He settled back into his habitual Superpole speed to finish P2. Jaume Masia was running in the top six in his return to his home country before a thunderous 1’42.348s time sent him to the top of the order with less than 15 minutes remaining. His pace was later outpaced by the #40 and #61, but he only missed P2 by four-hundredths of a second.

A NEW PEAK FOR THE ANDORRAN: Cardelus sets a new season best pole result

Philipp Oettl (Feel Racing WorldSSP Team) missed his first front row finish of 2025 by a mere 0.004s, settling for P4 to start the final Race 1 of the season. Jeremy Alcoba (Kawasaki WorldSSP Team) set his Kawasaki ZX-6R 636 up in the second row for P5, the rookie Spaniard showing strong pace in his home round. Andorran rider Xavi Cardelus (Orelac Racing VerdNatura) took his time to lay down his personal best lap of 1’42.458s in the final minutes of the session to earn P6, his best Superpole result of the season.

THE SLIMMEST OF MARGINS: 0.002s separated Mahias from a second row start

Lucas Mahias (GMT94-YAMAHA) finished fast enough to lead the third row into Race 1, outpaced by the Andorran, whose time clocked in just two thousandths of a second faster than his. However, the veteran French rider will start Race 1 from the back of the grid after he was assessed for not respecting a yellow flag by reducing his speed while it was active. Alberto Surra (Yamaha BLU CRU Evan Bros Team) deserves some credit for his collaboration with Can Oncu (Yamaha BLU CRU Evan Bros Team) to set him up in P2, and Surra didn’t do too poorly for himself. The Italian finished in P8 for his third top eight or better in Superpoles in the four rounds he’s participated in this season. However, the Italian will start Race 1 from P11 after he was given a three-place penalty for slow riding by FIM WorldSBK Stewards. Niccolo Antonelli (VFT Racing) finished P9 on the day, his best finish since his P9 Superpole result at Cremona and will start from P7. Roberto Garcia (GMT94-YAMAHA) will line up in P8 back in his home country. While he locked up the Riders’ Championship last round, Stefano Manzi (Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing) sported a gold-trimmed #62 on his fairing and kept the throttle open in Jerez’s first day, his time placing him eleventh fastest in the session.

Diogo Moreira (Italtrans Racing Team) will start the Moto2 Australian Grand Prix from pole position on Sunday after a dramatic, tantalising Q2 played out at Phillip Island. Home hero Senna Agius will line up in the middle of the front row, with his Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP teammate Manuel Gonzalez completing a top three that was split by a slender 0.076s.

Moreira’s 1:29.817 was the first sub-1:30 lap time around the famous Island in Moto2 as the #10 enjoyed a flawless session – but the same can’t be said for Aron Canet (Fantic Racing). The rider third overall crashed at Turn 4 early in the session, so it was a race against time to get the #44 back out on track.

In the end they did, for one lap, as a fascinating fight for pole unfolded. Moreira ended up beating his lap time but it was chalked off for yellow flags, with both Agius and Gonzalez going so close to a Saturday P1. It wasn’t enough for pole position, but that’s a juicy Moto2 front row for the Grand Prix – and one to celebrate for Agius on home turf.

The second row is stacked too. Jake Dixon (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) lines up in P4 ahead of Q1 graduate Daniel Holgado, with the latter’s CFMOTO Power Electronics Aspar teammate David Alonso completing that second row. Ayumu Sasaki (RW-Idrofoglia Racing GP) is P7, one place ahead of Canet, who nailed that flying lap at the end of the session to jump into the top 10. That could be the most important lap of his season so far.

With Barry Baltus (Fantic Racing) qualifying in P10, one place behind Darryn Binder (ITALJET Gresini Moto2), the top runners in Moto2’s 2025 title chase are in the mix. Tune into the Moto2 Grand Prix at 13:15 local time to see if there are any more championship twists before we head to Malaysia.

Joel Kelso earned pole position during Moto3 World Championship qualifying Saturday at Phillip Island, in Australia. Riding his LevelUp MTA KTM on Pirelli control tires, the home hero turned a lap time of 1:34.056. Not only was that good enough to lead the 26-rider field, it was also good enough to eclipse David Almansa’s 2025 All-Time Lap Record of 1:34.726 he set Friday afternoon during the practice session.

Jose Antonio Rueda was the best of the rest with a 1:34.147 on his Red Bull Ajo KTM, and Collin Veijer claimed the third and final spot on the front row with a 1:34.281 on his SIC58 Squadra Corse Honda.

Row-two qualifiers included Honda Team Asia’s Taiyo Furusato (1:34.406) Kelso’s teammate, Matteo Bertelle (1:34.447) and Rueda’s teammate, Alvaro Carpe (1:34.492).

More, from a press release issued by Dorna:

Kelso takes historic home pole at Phillip Island. The first Australian in Moto3 history to head the grid on ‘The Island’, the #66 hopes a maiden victory can follow on from a first pole of 2025.

A first pole of the season and what a place to do it; Joel Kelso (LEVELUP-MTA) was unstoppable, becoming the first Australian to take pole in Moto3 at Phillip Island. Behind him, newly-crowned World Champion Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) and Mandalika podium finisher Luca Lunetta (SIC58 Squadra Corse) whilst the rider second in the Championship, Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI) was only 14^th.

Moving through from Q1 into Q2, Matteo Bertelle (LEVELUP-MTA) had over a quarter of a second advantage ahead of Nicola Carraro (Rivacold Snipers Team), Marco Morelli (GRYD – MLav Racing) and New Zealander Cormac Buchanan (DENSSI – BOE Motorsport. Debutant Brian Uriarte (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) missed out by just 0.111s. With a new lap record straight out of the blocks, Rueda set a 1’34.608 but went on to beat it further on his second lap, setting a 1’34.440, just ahead of Kelso and super-sub Joel Esteban (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team).

As the second run began with just over six minutes to go, it was time for big improvements from the likes of Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) and Friday’s fastest David Almansa (Leopard Racing), who found themselves on the fifth row provisionally. Second in the Championship, Piqueras also needed a lap, with the #36’s first attempt only good enough for 18^th. Rueda improved again but the #66 of Kelso was likewise flying, moving the goal posts to set a 1’34.056. There was a late fall for Guido Pini (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) at Turn 4 but he was OK.

Nobody could touch Kelso though who took his fifth consecutive front row and first pole of the season. Rueda lines up second on the grid whilst the front row is completed by Lunetta who denied Taiyo Furusato (Honda Team Asia) with a late lap. Bertelle took fifth place whilst the second row is completed by Carpe – who managed to improve his position late on, unlike compatriot Almansa, who starts 18^th. Other names to keep an eye on include Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) in P9, home-hero Jacob Roulstone (Red Bull KTM Tech 3) in 13^th and Piqueras in 14^th.

Fabio Quartararo earned pole position during MotoGP World Championship qualifying on Saturday at Phillip Island, in Australia. Riding his Monster Energy Yamaha YZR-M1, the Frenchman broke Marco Bezzecchi’s 2025 All-Time Lap Record of 1:26.492 he set Friday afternoon with a time of 1:26.465 around the 2.76-mile (4.45 km) circuit during Qualifying Two (Q2) on Saturday.

Marco Bezzecchi was the best of the rest with a 1:26.496 on his Aprilia Racing RS-GP25, and home hero Jack Miller claimed the third and final spot on the front row with a 1:26.708 on his Prima Pramac Yamaha YZR-M1.

Row-two qualifiers included Trackhouse Aprilia’s Raul Fernandez (1:26.851), Red Bull KTM Factory’s Pedro Acosta (1:26.874) and BK8 Gresini Ducati’s Alex Marquez (1:26.920)

More from a press release issued by Dorna:

Quartararo beats Bezzecchi to last-gasp Island pole, Miller bags front row. The Yamaha star beats the Italian by just 0.031s as the home hero comes through Q1 to slot his YZR-M1 on the front row at Phillip Island.

Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP), take a bow. A new all-time lap record around Phillip Island is what it took to beat Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) to pole position, and that’s exactly what the Frenchman threw down. That 1:26.465 from El Diablo was 0.031s quicker than the Italian’s best effort, and joining the duo on the front row will be home hero Jack Miller (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP). The Australian dug deep to come through Q1 and delight the home faithful, setting us up good and proper for the Tissot Sprint and Grand Prix.

Q1: Aldeguer and Miller earn Q2 spots

Home hero Miller (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP) found himself in Q1 and was the early pacesetter after the opening laps were chucked in on the Island. The session favourite was arguably Fermin Aldeguer (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) though and it was the Indonesian GP winner who sailed to P1 with a 1:27.201, with Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) slotting into P2 after the first stints were done.

0.055s split Aldeguer and Binder, with Miller 0.137s away from the top two in P3. Could the Australian wriggle his way into Q2? He was certainly giving it a good go. As Aldeguer extended his advantage at the top with a 1:27.071, Miller climbed above Binder into P2 to go 0.144s adrift of Aldeguer. But it wasn’t over yet.

Binder was on a charge but just ahead, Miller improved again to beat Binder’s time by 0.029s, with the top three split by 0.038s heading onto the final lap. All three of those riders were done, but Johann Zarco (CASTROL Honda LCR) wasn’t. Setting a red sector through split two, the Frenchman was on course for the top two but Zarco encountered traffic through Turn 7 and 8, with Binder looking like the guilty party – in Zarco’s eyes anyway. The HRC rider was forced to abandon the lap and with that, it was Aldeguer and Miller venturing into Q2.

Q2: Quartararo leaves it late to oust Bezzecchi

And then, it was pole position shootout time at Phillip Island. Leading the way early doors was Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) but on his second flyer, the #73 was down at Turn 4. Meanwhile, to the sound of plenty of Australian cheers, Miller stuck his Yamaha on provisional pole with a 1:26.885, and Pol Espargaro (Red Bull KTM Tech3) climbed into P2!

Marquez got his Ducati fired up again to bring it back to the box, but by the time he did, the rider second in the championship had been shuffled down to P6, then P7. It was Miller from Espargaro from Raul Fernandez (Trackhouse MotoGP Team), with Aldeguer fronting the second row alongside Luca Marini (Honda HRC Castrol) and Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team).

Aldeguer then went P2 after setting the exact same lap time as Espargaro, with Turn 4 seeing Bezzecchi vent plenty of frustrations at Marini and Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team). At this stage, the pre-session favourite was down in P11, one place behind Pecco, as we then geared up for the final five minutes of Q2.

On his out-lap, Miller had an unwanted trip into the Turn 2 gravel trap, but he kept it upright. Now, attention turned to Bezzecchi. And sure enough, the Italian rose to P1 with a 1:26.565, before Alex Marquez crashed for a second time. And this one was a lot quicker. Turn 1 bit the Spaniard, thankfully he was alright, but that was his chances of a front row gone.

Back on track, Bezzecchi stretched his legs again to cement pole position, as Acosta climbed up to P2 on his penultimate lap. That shoved Miller down to P3, but another Yamaha was flying. Quartararo was up through sector three and racing towards the line, we held our breath to see if the Frenchman could oust Bezzecchi. And he did. A stunner. Quartararo slammed home that 1:26.465 to clinch a late pole position in Australia, and Miller improved on his last lap too, meaning the #43 earned his first front row since the 2023 Japanese GP.

Your front four rows for the Australian GP

That was a proper qualifying session on the Island. Fernandez was another late improver to claim P4, with Acosta and Alex Marquez making up Row 2 in P5 and P6. Aldeguer launches his victory attack from P7, Espargaro joins his compatriot on Row 3 in P8, with Marini ninth and the top HRC rider. Di Giannantonio spearheads the fourth row in P10 ahead of Bagnaia – who was forced to sit up and out of his time attack at the end of the session – and Alex Rins (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP).

Coming up: Tissot Sprint time at Phillip Island

Doesn’t need to be said, but we’ll do it anyway: don’t miss the Tissot Sprint from Phillip Island! Quartararo on pole, Bezzecchi the favourite, and a home hero on the front row. 15:00 local time, be there.

Scott Redding emerged on top after the Bennetts British Superbike Championship Pre-Qualifying session at Brands Hatch as the 2019 champion moved closer to the lap record, holding off title contender Bradley Ray by just 0.094s ahead of tomorrow’s opening race.

Ray had set the benchmark, but the Hager PBM Ducati rider was gathering momentum and his final lap of the session put him ahead of his rivals as he bids to continue his winning performances from the previous three rounds.

Ray was ahead of his championship rival Kyle Ryde, the defending champion holding sixth place and climbing the times in the final moments after sitting precariously close to being in the drop zone in tenth ahead of the closing five minutes.

Ryde holds a 30-point advantage ahead of this weekend’s crucial three races on the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit with 105 points up for the taking.

Charlie Nesbitt had another strong session for MasterMac Honda in third place, holding the position ahead of Christian Iddon and Max Cook as the AJN Steelstock Kawasaki teammates closed down their opposition.

Glenn Irwin was just adrift of his Nitrous Competitions Racing Yamaha teammate Ryde, holding seventh place from his long established rival Tommy Bridewell. Leon Haslam and Danny Kent completed the top ten with Lee Jackson and Rory Skinner the final two riders qualifying directly into tomorrow’s Bandero Café Shoot Out Qualifying 2 session ahead of race one.

Bennetts British Superbike Championship, Brands Hatch, Pre Qualifying result:

Scott Redding (Hager PBM Ducati) 1m:24.733s

SCOTT REDDING – HAGER PBM DUCATI

“Coming back to Brands Hatch for the second time this year for me is another take on racing because I actually have some data to go by, some set up, which is different to what we’ve been doing the last few races.

“In the afternoon I felt a bit better, but not fully to my potential and then we made a few changes to the bike and then I was able to make a step that I felt was clearly better. I could build on that and I chucked it into the 1m24s, which I was pretty stoked with. I come in and stayed first so I was happy with that today.

“I’m not sure what the strategy will be from the other guys and I don’t really care, I’m just going to try and stay out of time really and do my thing. To finish the season off with a triple win would be top tier.”

2025 FIM MiniGP World: Team Canada Set For Finals in Valencia

October 17, 2025

Newmarket, Ontario – Canada’s top young road racing talents are set to challenge the world as the 2025 FIM MiniGP World Finals kick off from November 11-14 at the famed Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, Spain.

Representing Team Canada are two standout riders who dominated the national qualifying series: Jager Stockill, an 12-year-old from Ontario and vice-champion in the 2024 Canadian Championship, and Ethan Reardon, a 10-year-old phenom from Alberta. Both riders earned their spots on the world stage by finishing first and second, respectively, in the FIM MiniGP Canada Series.

The Canadian program, organized and managed by former FIM World Endurance rider, Toni Sharpless, continues to build a formidable pipeline for young riders. This marks the third consecutive year Canada has qualified for the World Finals, demonstrating growth and development each year.

“The progression of our riders year-over-year is our primary focus,” said Team Manager Toni Sharpless. “Having Jager, with his finals experience from last year, and Ethan, who is already competing in Spain, gives us a significant advantage. They know the level of competition and the intensity of the event. This year, our riders can hit the ground running from the first free practice session, fully prepared to deliver their best performance from the start.”

The Canadian program has already become a springboard to international careers. Alumni from the 2023 team, Michael Galvis and Ben Hardwick, have since graduated to compete in European championships, with Galvis in the FIM MiniGP Spain Series and Hardwick in the British Talent Cup. Lincoln Scott, who represented Canada alongside Stockill in 2024, is now competing in the prestigious CIV JuniorGP in Italy.

This year, Team Canada is focused on a clear goal: breaking into the coveted Super Final on Thursday, a feat narrowly missed in the past two years.

“The entire 2025 team—riders, families, and crew—is fully committed to this mission,” Sharpless added. “The dedication has been incredible. Our riders are prepared, focused, and ready to show the world what Canadian talent can achieve. We’re excited to see them compete at the highest level.”
