Canet makes hay while the sun shines for debut pole

FlexBox HP40’s Aron Canet clinched his first Moto2â„¢ pole in fine style as the intermediate class enjoyed a dry track for the first time at the Tissot Grand Prix of Portugal. The Spaniard’s 1:44.151 saw him take control of Q2 halfway through and, despite the best efforts of Cameron Beaubier (American Racing) and Jake Dixon (Autosolar GasGas Aspar Team) at the very end, he comfortably held on for a first pole since the 2019 Aragon Grand Prix.
