MotoGP Aragon GP: Marc Marquez Secures Pole Position
=====================================================
In a thrilling qualifying session at the Motorland circuit, Marc Marquez secured pole position for the MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix, according to a report by Autosport. The Spaniard, a six-time MotoGP champion, looked in command as he took pole at the circuit where he ended his dry winning spell last year.
Marquez’s younger brother, Alex, finished the session in second place, having held pole after a mistake from Marc on his second lap caused the factory Ducati rider to lose valuable time. The top three were completed by Franco Morbidelli, who put in a quick lap right at the end of the session to jump up the order.
According to Autosport, Marc led the early running with the six-time MotoGP champion being the only rider to dip below the 1m46s barrier. However, Alex was always ready to pounce, with only Marc’s late flyer seeing him jump back ahead of his brother.
The qualifying session saw several riders pushing for a spot on the grid, with Francesco Bagnaia overcoming his braking woes from the practice sessions to take fourth on the grid. KTM continued to astound with Pedro Acosta taking fifth, the first time since round three in Austin. Team-mate Brad Binder added to KTM’s solid day as he took sixth.
As reported by Autosport, seventh went to Fermin Aldeguer’s Gresini Ducati while another KTM occupied eighth position in Q2 in the form of Maverick Vinales. Fabio Quartararo took ninth, making a miraculous recovery after suffering so many issues with his electronics during the Friday practice sessions.
The Q1 session saw Quartararo leading the running before being pushed down to second fastest by Fabio Di Giannantonio. Raul Fernandez was unlucky not to get through, as was Yamaha’s Jack Miller, who looked much more competitive compared to his Friday outings.
Alex Marquez, Gresini Racing, was seen struggling during the session, but managed to secure second place on the grid. Autosport reported that Marquez was under pressure from his brother, but managed to stay ahead.
