During the qualifying session for the Grand Prix of San Marino and the Rimini Riviera, Joel Kelso saved his best until (almost) lap, setting his best lap on his penultimate effort of the Q2 session to start tomorrow's Grand Prix from third on the grid.

The Australian starts from the front row and will be looking to capitalise on that to record his best finish of the season with GRYD Racing, having previously finished a season-best of 6th at Silverstone.

Further back, SIC58 Squadra Corse's Casey O'Gorman was the second highest Honda, lining up seventh on the grid. Leopard Racing's Adrian Fernandez lines up 13th, having set the joint-second highest top speed of the session, whilst their respective teammates Leo Rammerstorfer and Guido Pini were both knocked out in Q1.

Kelso's teammate Eddie O'Shea heads a trio of Honda-powered machines in 15th, 16th and 17th, finishing just ahead of Honda Team Asia's Veda Pratama and Rivacold Snipers Team's Jesus Rios, who made it through from the Q1 session but was only able to complete one flying lap in the Q2 session.

Tomorrow's 20 lap race gets underway at 1100h local time at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli.
