Brian Uriarte did not lead the Moto3 front row at the 2025 German Grand Prix qualifying session at Sachsenring, officials confirmed. Instead, Scott Ogden secured pole position, with David Almansa and Guido Pini completing the front row, as Uriarte was recorded in 11th place, 0.627 seconds off the fastest time.
David Almansa qualified second, 0.042 seconds behind Ogden, while Guido Pini completed the front row in third place, 0.134 seconds off the pole time. These results align with the official classifications released by MotoGP and corroborated by multiple motorsport databases. Brian Uriarte was not among the front-row qualifiers; records show he started 11th, 0.627 seconds slower than Ogden’s pole time, riding for the LEVELUP – MTA KTM team.
Scott Ogden secured pole position in the Moto3 qualifying session for the 2025 German Grand Prix at Sachsenring, posting a fastest lap of 1 minute, 35.001 seconds, according to official timing data published by Crash.net.
The claim that Uriarte led the Moto3 front row at the German GP by 0.029 seconds is not supported by any official or semi-official timing sources. Neither MotoGP.com nor recognized motorsport news outlets, including Crash.net and Wikipedia’s 2025 German GP entry, list Uriarte on the front row or in a leading qualifying position at Sachsenring. Instead, the rider named Marcos Uriarte appears in 11th place in the German GP qualifying results, which may have contributed to confusion. Red Bull KTM Ajo, Uriarte’s current team, fielded Jose Antonio Rueda in the session, who qualified 12th, 0.630 seconds off pole.
Brian Uriarte’s documented front-row start in recent Moto3 competition occurred at the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix at Assen, according to official MotoGP.com news and a detailed qualifying report by Motorionline. There, Maximo Quiles of CFMoto Gaviota Aspar took pole with a time of 1:40.130, followed by Joel Kelso of GRYD Racing, 0.025 seconds behind. Uriarte qualified third for Red Bull KTM Ajo, 0.300 seconds off the pole time, completing the front row. The gap between pole and third at Assen was significantly larger than the 0.029-second figure attributed to the German GP qualifying. No official records indicate a 0.029-second spread across the front row at Assen or Sachsenring.
Additional context includes a regulatory issue involving Uriarte at the 2025 Catalan Grand Prix. A widely circulated report within the MotoGP fan community, referencing an official technical decision, stated that Uriarte’s Q2 and race results were annulled due to an oil sample from his bike being outside technical specifications. While this incident has been noted in unofficial sources, there is no evidence linking it to his qualifying performance at the German GP or affecting the official results at Sachsenring.
The 2025 German Moto3 qualifying session featured a closely contested top three, with Ogden, Almansa, and Pini representing teams CIP Green Power, Leopard Racing, and Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP respectively, riding KTM and Honda machinery. The front-row gap from pole to third was 0.134 seconds, as per official timing sheets. In contrast, the 2026 Assen qualifying front row, with Quiles, Kelso, and Uriarte, showed a wider gap of 0.300 seconds between pole and third place. These documented differences further confirm that Uriarte’s front-row presence is specific to Assen and not the German GP.
In summary, official MotoGP timing data and multiple independent sources confirm that Scott Ogden, David Almansa, and Guido Pini formed the front row in Moto3 qualifying at the 2025 German Grand Prix, with no recorded indication of Brian Uriarte leading or narrowly splitting the front row by 0.029 seconds. Uriarte’s notable front-row qualifying start occurred at the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix at Assen, where he qualified third. The available evidence does not support the claim that Uriarte headed the Moto3 front row at the German GP, and any such assertions contradict the verified timing and classification records.
