The high track temperatures in Jerez marked the development of the Spanish GP qualifying sessions that ended up with pole positions for Pablo Nieto, Randy de Puniet and Loris Capirossi. Pablo Nieto and Dani Pedrosa have been the best qualified of the Repsol riders and will start tomorrow from the first row of the 125cc grid.
The temperature has been decisive when it was about choosing the best tyre compounds. Most of the riders have focussed their work on finding the most effective set-up for tomorrow and will use tomorrow’s warm-up to do so as well. In the rest of the classes, the Repsol riders were not able to keep their places on the front row of the starting grid. Fonsi Nieto and Toni Elias have finished fifth and sixth fastest. Farther in the back, Porto finished eighth, Faubel seventeenth and Olive nineteenth.
