Setidaknya ada tiga pembalap yang secara bergantian menduduki urutan teratas, yakni Marcos Ramirez, Tatsuki Suzuki dan Tony Arbolino. Akan tetapi, kejutan justru datang dari McPhee.
Berhasil lolos dari Q1 untuk melaju ke Q2, ia menorehkan waktu lap tercepat 1 menit 42,277 detik sekaligus memaksa Arbolino grid kedua dengan selisih 0,190 detik.
Ini pole position pertama bagi McPhee, dalam statusnya sebagai pembalap Petronas Sprinta Racing sejak awal musim 2019. Adapun, start terdepan merupakan kali kedua sejak Moto3 Italia 2017.
Tak hanya McPhee yang tampil bagus. Rookie Ai Ogura juga unjuk gigi lewat keberhasilan mengamankan grid ketiga. Ia mengalahkan kompatriot Suzuki dan Gabriel Rodrigo.
Ramirez akhirnya harus puas posisi keenam, di depan Niccolo Antonelli serta Raul Fernandez. Sedangkan melengkapi 10 besar adalah Kaito Toba dan Sergio Garcia.
Sementara itu, Jaume Masia gagal melaju ke Q2. Pembalap muda Spanyol ini terpuruk pada urutan ke-23.
Moto3 Prancis akan digelar Minggu (19/5) besok, pukul 16:00 WIB.
