Overview
- Izan Guevara took pole with a 1:40.280 in Q2, edging Filip Salač by 0.024 seconds and putting Senna Agius third on the front row.
- Manuel Gonzalez, who set a new Balaton Park FP2 lap record, was bumped to fourth on the grid and will have to recover track position on race day.
- Qualifying featured several crashes that reshaped the grid, most notably Ivan Ortola's heavy Q2 crash that left him with no time and Celestino Vietti losing pace after a Q1 tumble.
- Q1 eliminations and substitutions altered Sunday’s line-up as Joe Roberts failed to reach Q2 and will start 22nd while Jacob Roulstone filled in for the injured Mario Aji and qualified 26th.
- The tight gaps and late-session slipstream tactics that decided pole highlight how bike setup, chassis choice and tow management could determine Sunday’s Moto2 race outcome.
