In a challenging qualifying session for the 15th round of the Moto3 World Championship, Joel Kelso secured a seventh‑place starting position with a solid lap at the start of Q2.

Kelso’s teammate, Eddie O’Shea, delivered an impressive performance to advance from Q1 and will start from the middle of the fourth row in 11th position, courtesy of his final lap.
