Sam Lowes set the pole position of the British Gran Prix thanks to a fantastic performance performed in this afternoon\u2019s wet Qualifying session at SIlverstone: after leading the way in all the three dry free practice sessions, the 25-year-old Federal Oil Gresini Moto2 rider has therefore proved to be the fastest also in the rain, beating in the final stages of the Qualifying Frenchman Johann Zarco, with a lap time of 2\u201926\u201d740.<\/p>\n
Lowes, who enjoyed so far a perfect weekend, is therefore ready to fight for victory in the 18-lap race which will start tomorrow at 2 pm local time.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI\u2019ve been the fastest in every dry practice session, but I honestly didn\u2019t expect to be able to get the pole position in the wet! This means that even in these conditions we made a good step forward, and the good performance we put on display at Brno helped us: that podium in the rain gave me confidence ahead of this race, no doubt! I still hope for a dry race tomorrow, as indicated by weather forecasts, because so far it has been a very positive weekend and on the dry I think that I have a small advantage on the other riders; that said, of course it won\u2019t be easy, as always: Zarco will definitely be in the game, but I know I can fight for a really good result and keep alive the fight for the title!\u201d.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt\u2019s really nice to see Sam in great shape, back in pole position in front of his home crowd! Despite the rain making the Qualifying complicated, Sam worked very well with the team, keeping calm and maintaining the right approach. Our strategy was to push only in the closing laps of the session, in order to get the right confidence with the wet track; in the final stages we got a great lap despite conditions definitely not easy, so we are happy. I\u2019d like to congratulate Sam and the whole team for the good job, now we look forward to the race!\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
