Enea Bastianini scored his first pole as a factory Ducati MotoGP rider in a tight MotoGP qualifying at the Portuguese Grand Prix as Marc Marquez suffered a scary crash.
Having topped Friday’s running at the Algarve International Circuit, Bastianini carried that form into Saturday to take a first pole since Austria 2022 with a 1m37.706s. The five-time grand prix winner fended off a late charge from Aprilia’s Maverick Vinales to take pole by just 0.082 seconds, while Pramac Ducati’s Jorge Martin completed the front row.
Franco Morbidelli was 17th on his Pramac Ducati ahead of Augusto Fernandez , while all four Honda riders headed by LCR’s Johann Zarco filled out the last four spots on the grid.
