Brian Uriarte secured pole position in the Moto3 2026 qualifying session. The Red Bull KTM Ajo rider set the fastest time of 1:39.544, edging out David Almansa of Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP by a mere 0.064 seconds. The session was incredibly tight, with minimal gaps between riders.
From the start, Uriarte showed consistent speed. He maximized his bike's performance in every sector, especially in the fast corners. Almansa, who briefly led the session, had to settle for second after Uriarte set his best lap at the end.
Third place went to Uriarte's teammate, Alvaro Carpe, who was 0.315 seconds adrift. Thus, Red Bull KTM Ajo placed both riders on the front row. Maximo Quiles of CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team completed the front row in fourth, 0.437 seconds back.
The second row features Matteo Bertelle (LEVEL UP - MTA) in fifth, Scott Ogden (CIP Green Power) sixth, and Joel Kelso (GRYD Racing) seventh. Meanwhile, Joel Esteban (LEVEL UP - MTA) took eighth, followed by David Munoz (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) ninth and Rico Salmela (Red Bull KTM Tech3) tenth.
This qualifying result is valuable momentum for Uriarte heading into the race. However, Moto3 competition is fierce, and pole position is no guarantee of victory. Almansa and Carpe are sure to apply pressure from the first lap.
With this pole, Uriarte sends a strong signal that he is ready to contend at the front this season. The Moto3 race will be the true test of consistency and strategy. Don't miss the action on track.
