JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA (AFP) - Moto3 world championship leader Jack Miller claimed pole position for Sunday s Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez with a commanding performance on Saturday.
The Australian finished over half a second ahead of Italy s Niccolo Antonelli and Spaniard Alex Rins in a time of 1min 46.173sec to claim just his third ever career pole.
Having won in Doha and Austin in the opening two races of the season, Miller, riding a KTM, was only third in Argentina last time out as Romano Fenati moved into second place in the overall standings.
