Title contender Ayumu Sasaki takes pole position for the Australian Moto3 Grand Prix ahead of home rider Joel Kelso.

World championship leader Jaume Masia was frustrated at being followed and left the pits too late for a final lap and was pushed down to 13th, two places behind another title fighter, Dani Holgado.

Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
