Quiles, who had amassed six wins in the opening eleven races and boasted a commanding 96-point lead over Brian Uriarte, crashed violently near the end of qualifying, reportedly injuring his clavicle. This accident casts serious doubt over his ability to participate in the upcoming race at Silverstone.

Before his crash, Quiles had posted a lap time that positioned him 11th on the starting grid, a significant drop from his usual front-running pace. His main   rivals, Alvaro Carpe and Brian Uriarte, secured more competitive positions, qualifying 5th and 7th respectively in Q2, maintaining pressure on the series leader.

Meanwhile, the CIP team capitalized on the opportunity to dominate qualifying. Scott Ogden, exhibiting strong form throughout the weekend, clinched pole position with a blistering final lap. Just behind him, teammate Adrian Cruces crossed the line moments earlier, having briefly held the provisional fastest time. This remarkable one-two for the French outfit sets them up for a powerful race day showing. Valentin Perrone completed the front row, rounding out a highly competitive starting grid.

Quiles' injury and compromised grid position threaten to disrupt the   momentum he built during the first half of the season. His closest challengers will undoubtedly look to exploit this chance to close the points gap. The CIP team's front-row dominance underscores their potential to influence the race outcome decisively.

The Silverstone Moto3 qualifying session thus concluded on a bittersweet note: the excitement of CIP's breakthrough is tempered by the uncertainty surrounding the  leader's condition. The forthcoming race will be pivotal in defining the  trajectory moving forward.
