Penampilan brilian ditunjukkan Vierge, Sabtu (31/3). Ketika sesi menyisakan waktu sembilan menit, pembalap anyar EG 0,0 Marc VDS itu merebut start terdepan dengan catatan waktu 1 menit 42,726 detik – merupakan rekor lap baru.
Ya, ia memecahkan catatan waktu tercepat saat kualifikasi yang sebelumnya dipegang Johann Zarco musim 2015 (1 menit 42,809 detik). Selain itu, Vierge juga mengulangi pencapaian apiknya, di mana pada 2018, ia pole position di Termas de Rio Hondo.
Marcel Schrotter, rival terdekat Vierge, dipaksa menghuni grid kedua. Diikuti posisi ketiga yang diklaim Sam Lowes, mengungguli Alex Marquez. Sedangkan lima besar dilengkapi sosok veteran Thomas Luthi.
Brad Binder mengantarkan Red Bull KTM Ajo start keenam, dilanjutkan Remy Gardner untuk grid ketujuh. Ada pun, tiga pembalap Italia secara berturut-turut mengisi posisi kedelapan, kesembilan dan ke-10, yakni Lorenzo Baldassarri, Nicolo Bulega serta Simone Corsi.
Raihan kurang memuaskan dipetik Luca Marini. Sang pembalap Sky Racing Team VR46 hanya dapat menempati grid ke-13 atau lebih lambat 0,3 detik. Ia juga kalah dari rookie Enea Bastianini, tepat satu tingkat di atasnya.
Dimas mampu meningkatkan catatan waktunya, bahkan menembus di bawah 1 menit 45 detik, tepatnya 1 menit 44,690 detik. Sayangnya, posisi start Red Forehad cukup jauh di bawah rekan setim Somkiat Chantra, yang berhasil grid ke-19.
Moto2 Argentina bakal dihelat Minggu (31/3) besok, pukul 23:20 WIB.
