Jorge Martín signs the last MotoGP pole position and Quartararo puts pressure on Bagnaia

MADRID, 5 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Spanish rider Jorge Martín (Ducati) won pole position this Saturday for the MotoGP race of the Comunitat Valenciana Grand Prix, the last round of the Motorcycle World Championship, ahead of Marc Márquez (Repsol Honda), while the Frenchman Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) will start fourth in his fight for the title with the Italian Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati), who will start from eighth position.

The man from Madrid, with his fifth pole of the year and the ninth in the premier class, will command a front row of the grid in which he will be accompanied by the eighth world champion and the Australian Jack Miller (Ducati), the three outside the fight for the championship , which will be fought from behind.

Thus, Quartararo will lead the second row, which will also include Alex Rins (Suzuki) and Maverick Viñales (Aprilia) -both after passing through Q1-, after going to the gravel in their last attempt to improve lap. Even so, his starting position can put pressure on a Bagnaia who has been quite nervous this Saturday.

In fact, ‘Pecco’ failed on his final lap and could only finish eighth, and he will have to rely on the two front-row Ducatis to stop the ‘Devil’. In spite of everything, the leader, who is 23 points ahead of Nice in the general classification, is worth being fourteenth to win the title, so he could choose to be conservative and not risk too much in the race, while Quartararo needs to win and that his opponent finishes fifteenth or worse or that he does not finish the race.

In addition, Aleix Espargaró (Aprilia) will start tenth and Joan Mir (Suzuki), in his last race before leaving for Repsol Honda, will do so twelfth. Among the Spaniards who stayed in Q1, Alex Márquez (Honda) will start the event from fifteenth position, with Pol Espargaró (Repsol Honda) starting twenty-second just ahead of Raúl Fernández (KTM).
