Lopez leaps to pole in dying moments of Q2

As usual lap times came flying in during the closing stages of the session. Chantra quickly pushed Dixon off the top spot with Aron Canet setting a stunner soon after to reshuffle the order once again. At this point, it was Canet, from Chantra and Dixon but fast laps were still coming in. It was then Alonso Lopez who nailed the final sector to snatch pole position out of nowhere, with Canet, Chantra, and Dixon dropping a place each to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th respectively, and Portimao winner Pedro Acosta rounding out the top 5.
