MotoE: Granado beats Baldassarri to Barcelona pole

MotoE: The Brazilian earns P1 for Saturday’s races as championship leader Casadei launches from Row 2.

For the first time in 2025, Eric Granado (LCR E-Team) stuck it on pole position for Saturday’s pair of races after the Brazilian beat Lorenzo Baldassarri (Dynavolt Intact GP) by just 0.104s in Barcelona. Jordi Torres (Power Electronics Aspar Team) is back on the front row in front of his home crowd, with the Spaniard lapping just over three tenths shy of Granado’s pace in Q2.

World Championship leader Mattia Casadei (LCR E-Team) will be aiming to hold onto his standings lead when he launches from P4 on what is a very experienced second row of the grid. Matteo Ferrari (Felo Gresini MotoE) and Alessandro Zaccone (Aruba Cloud MotoE Team) are the duo in P5 and P6, and all three look set to be in at least the podium hunt.

ICYMI, watch the full qualifying session below on YouTube and tune in for Race 1 and Race 2 on Saturday!
