93rd pole for the eight-time world champion
“Today could have been my day, taking pole in the dry obviously would have been a greater satisfaction, but that's okay. I'm happy to have achieved pole number 93 in front of all my fans in Spain.”. Marc Marquez he didn't miss the pole position on a damp track today in Qualifying for the Spanish GP in Jerez.
The Gresini driver risked falling twice during Q2, but remained standing although he was unable to launch the last fast lap. The previous time was enough for Marquez who, in view of the Sprint and the Race, has already got his hands full on the start: “Martin will have a better start with the Ducati GP-24the podium would already be an excellent result.”
World Championship leader Jorge Martin was also satisfied as he reached the front row with the third fastest time behind Marco Bezzecchi: “I usually suck in mixed conditionshowever today I managed to be effective – he said – we modified the weights a little to try to improve the performance of the GP-24 in the wet because it was the first time we found these conditions. We need more wet sessions in the future to fine-tune the bike well in the rain.” Ducati placed eight bikes in the top nine positions, the only intruder being Brad Binder with the KTM in fourth. Francesco Bagnaia will start on the third row from seventh position, Jorge Martin used him as a reference in the runs that brought him to the front row.
