Valencia GP3: Conor Daly takes pole ahead of Daniil Kvyat

ART's Conor Daly will start round two of the GP3 Series from pole position at Valencia's Circuit Ricardo Tormo

The 21-year-old American timed his pole lap to perfection, just before the second red flag of the session halted his rivals from trying to beat his 1m22.329s.

Daniil Kvyat will start alongside him in his MW Arden-run machine, but was two tenths in arrears.

Carlin's Nick Yelloly had pole with a few minutes to go, but slipped to third. He is joined on the second row by the second ART car of Facu Regalia.

Barcelona race two winner Aaro Vainio will start fifth, ahead of Koiranen team-mate Kevin Korjus.

Points leader Tio Ellinas, who set pole at Barcelona, was only seventh fastest. He had a scrappy session, and bounced across the gravel at the high-speed Turn 12 right-hander.

His Manor team-mate Ryan Cullen spun exiting Turn 1, which caused the first red flag early on. Then Adderly Fong spun to a halt at Turn 11 with two minutes remaining, causing a second red flag.

That led to a last-lap charge as the session was briefly restarted, but none of the frontrunners were able to better their times.

NEWS UPDATE: Yelloly, Williamson put to back of grid
