Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) stormed to pole position – in a top spot that was constantly changing.
Danilo Petrucci (OCTO Pramac Racing) and Alvaro Bautista (Pull&Bear Aspar Team) made it through the difficult Q1, but unfortunately failed to deliver top five starts. Jorge Lorenzo (Ducati Team) set one flying lap which put him in third before entering the pits to change tyres.
However, no sooner than he came in, it was announced that the fast lap was cancelled due to exceeding track limits. In the closing minutes, Lorenzo didn’t have a recorded lap time and was the first one back out to try and set a quick lap. He will round out the second row of the grid, starting sixth.
Valentino Rossi (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) left it until late to put in his quickest lap, and it was certainly worth the wait. Rossi shot up the grid, putting him in second position for tomorrow’s race, just 0.092 seconds off Marquez’s pace. Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda Team) will round out the front row.
