MotoGp, Marc Marquez puts Ducati back on pole position. All-Italian second row

Marc Marquez will start the Sprint Race and Sunday’s Gp at Balaton Park, Hungary, from pole position. The Ducati thus returns to the top spot at the end of qualifying after two Grands Prix, also placing another rider on the front row, Fermin Aldeguer of the Gresini Racing team, third 340 thousandths behind after Q2. Between them is the KTM of Pedro Acosta, who missed the pole by 53 thousandths.

All-Italian the second row: Fabio Di Giannantonio (Ducati VR46, +0.447) will start fourth, ahead of Pecco Bagnaia (Ducati, +0.532) and World Championship leader Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia, +0.643). On the third row, however, will be Raul Fernandez (Aprilia Trackhouse, +0.763), Jorge Martin (Aprilia, +0.789) and Luca Marini (Honda, +0.820), who with Bagnaia had passed Q1.

In the fourth row will be the last three Q2 finishers: they are Ai Ogura (Aprilia Trackhouse, +0.844), Diogo Moreira (Honda LCR, +1.065) and Jack Miller (Yamaha Pramac, +1.456). Eliminated after Q1, however, are the riders who will be positioned on the grid from 13th place down, led by Joan Mir’s Honda.

Shortly behind the Spaniard will start Enea Bastianini (KTM Tech3), Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha), Iker Lecuona (Ducati Gresini), Brad Binder (KTM), Toprak Razgatlioglu (Yamaha Pramac), Franco Morbidelli (Ducati VR46), Maverick Viñales (KTM Tech3), Alex Rins (Yamaha) and Cal Crutchlow (Honda LCR).
