Results and summary of qualifying for the Moto2 class at Losail:

The final practice session for the intermediate class did not seem like it would make a big impact on the combined timesheets for qualifying, given the conditions, but a few riders did manage to upset the hierarchy in a final time attack. Rookie Aron Canet was the first of those men and he topped FP3 despite being quite a way off Joe Roberts’ best time from Friday. Fabio Di Giannantonio in second position brought another Speed Up to the forefront and into direct Q2 spots, with Enea Bastianini climbing into third in the session and eighth overall.

The night had truly fallen by the time the intermediate class basked in the floodlights of Qatar and it placed the spotlight firmly on the American Racing team. Joe Roberts, who had already showed fine speed in the first practice session, went on to improve the all time lap record in FP2, dropping to the mid 1:58s and remaining unchallenged for the rest of the session. Teamwork made the minor dream work for the Sky Racing crew as well, Marco Bezzecchi and Luca Marini riding together into the second and third positions, although a quarter of a second slower than the leader.

The intermediate class was in such a rush to get the season underway that much of the early action was concentrated in the run-off area at turn six, where some fairly experienced names like Xavi Vierge, Enea Bastianini and Jorge Navarro got some early tumbles out of the way. Once the dust had settled, Tom Luthi set camp at the top of the timesheets and could not be moved until the checkered flag. Jorge Martin was back in action after a troublesome winter and proved that his speed didn’t go anywhere, the Spaniard trailing the Swiss rider by less than two hundredths of a second.

Jorge Navarro takes a confidence boost into the first race of the 2020 Moto2 season, as the Speed Up rider finished the final test of the preseason on top of the timesheets. The Spaniard was just over a tenth of a second faster than Remy Gardner on the final day of the test, and three tenths faster than his teammate Fabio Di Giannantonio.
