Pole for Bastianini, Kent fourth on the grid

Enea Bastianini took a second consecutive pole position this afternoon with the Italian continuing to show why he is rated as the only rider capable of fighting with Danny Kent for the Moto3 world championship.

Bastianini, riding for Gresini Honda, was one third of a second faster than anyone else with Joge Navarro and Karel Hanika rounding off the front row. Championship leader Danny Kent was fourth fastest but the Englishman is very confident of his race pace and feels that on the medium tyre he is faster than the rest of the field.
