Jorge Martin turned around his weekend with pole position and a new record of Mugello with late progress halted in qualifying for the Italian MotoGP Grand Prix by a fall for Marc Marquez.
Jorge Martin may have seen his Mugello weekend start on the wrong foot but was in the zone for qualifying and his well timed early qualifying lap held on for pole position in qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix.
Francesco Bagnaia was in second at the chequered flag, 0.043s behind. The Ducati rider was on a different schedule to maximise his solo track time and had just missed out on going top after a series of red sectors only to lose his lap in the final sector. The start of his next was ruined when the Italian pushed too hard at home in the change of direction at the second corner, with the #1 bike pulling out.
Marc Marquez had already set a lap good enough for fourth before his fall from his Gresini Ducati, the Spaniard was following Franco Morbidelli, who had already lowered the lap record in Q1 when he crashed out of the session.Morbidelli moved onto sixth on the second Prima Pramac Ducati after coming up from the first qualifying session, with rookie Pedro Acosta half a second off the pole time but crash free after his double fall yesterday. The #31 was again the best of the KTM riders.
He was joined in the progression slots by Raul Fernandez for Trackhouse Racing, who went on to finish Q2 in 12th.
