MotoGP | Quartararo takes pole at Barcelona, and starts at the front in the Catalan GP; Miller is 2nd
Fabio Quartararo, a Monster Energy Yamaha rider in MotoGP, will start at the front in the Catalan GP. The Frenchman took pole by just 0.037s off second place, Jack Miller (Ducati Lenovo Team).
With a time of 1: 38.853, he starts at the front for the fifth time (in a row!) of the year. Next to him, in the front row, two Ducati bikes: Miller in second and Johann Zarco, a Pramac Racing Ducati rider, in third.
To compete for pole, Miller had to go through Q1, along with Pol Espargaro (Repsol Honda Team).
Despite reaching Q2, Pol didn’t get a good time, starting only from 12th position. Unfortunately, Honda bikes are still suffering: Marc Marquez is 13th, Takaaki Nakagami (LCR Honda Idemitsu) is 14th and Alex Marquez (LCR Honda Castrol) is only 20th.
Miguel Oliveira (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) opens the second row in fourth, Franco Morbidelli (Petronas Yamaha SRT) fifth and Maverick Viñales (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) sixth.
Once again, Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia Racing Team Gresini) starts from seventh, with Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) in eighth and Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) in ninth.
Anyway, the Catalan GP race for MotoGP takes place this Sunday, June 6, at 1pm local time (GMT+2).
