Overview
- Marco Bezzecchi recorded pole at Misano on Saturday with a new circuit record of 1:29.982, the fastest single lap of the qualifying session.
- Marc Marquez qualified second and Fermin Aldeguer third to complete the front row, giving three different teams strong single-lap form.
- World championship leader Jorge Martin will start fifth on the second row, while Francesco Bagnaia failed to reach Q2 and will begin 14th for both the Sprint and the Grand Prix.
- The rest of the top 12 places include Fabio Di Giannantonio, Luca Marini, Pedro Acosta, Franco Morbidelli, Alex Marquez, Raul Fernandez, Johann Zarco and Pol Espargaro across the third and fourth rows.
- This is Bezzecchi’s 13th MotoGP pole and his fourth this season, a sign of Aprilia’s qualifying pace and a factor to watch in today’s Sprint and tomorrow’s race where starting position at Misano often shapes early race tactics.
