How hard is it to fight I’m sorry Bagnaia in MotoGP. Qualifying in Barcelona seemed ideal for Aprilia to hit the table, but the world championship leader avoided it. Pole position and track record for Pecco Bagnaia, that has stopped the clock at 1:38.639. The champion will come out first.

However, you will have an army of Aprilia behind you. Because Aleix Espargaró will start from second position with a time only one tenth slower than Bagnaia’s, and also Miguel Oliveira and Maverick Viñales have gotten into the top four positions. The key will be to have a good start.
Márquez has taken Miller out of Q2 thanks to his wheel
One more time, I’m sorry Bagnaia he got it. Just when it looked like Aprilia would triumph today, the champion showed why he wears the number “1” on his fairing. A pole position that reinforces his position as leader in the world championship and frustrates the hopes of Aprilia, which had been very competitive with him in this classification.
Of course, the Aprilia should be the great favorites for the two races in Barcelona. Not only are the official ones going well, putting Espargaró second and Viñales fourth, but also Miguel Oliveira He was third with the RNF Racing. Even if the race is in the rain, the Portuguese will be an asset for Aprilia. Of course, it is mandatory to make good starts.
From Q1 to the front row! ????

Jorge Martín continues trying to win the championship. The second classified overall will start from fifth position despite having been distracted by Marc Márquez during the last lap. From the outset, Martín will try to evict as many Aprilias as he can to get behind the wheel of Bagnaia.
Only one Ducati has not qualified for Q2. has been the Luca Marini, who was very disappointing in the playoffs, since he has not been anywhere close to making the cut. Otherwise, Johann Zarco starts sixth, Álex Márquez seventh, a surprising Fabio Di Giannantonio has gotten eighth, Marco Bezzecchi tenth and Aeneas Bastianini, disappointing again, eleventh.

This time around, the KTM’s options have been limited by the Italian blitz. Jack Miller He was the first to skip the Q1 cutoff, so he will start thirteenth, while Brad Binder He miraculously made it to the third row of the starting grid thanks to a ninth position.
The circumstances surrounding the case Jack Miller they are special. However, this time the move did not go too well, as Márquez took advantage of Miller’s wheel and left the Australian out of the fight to enter Q2.

It hasn’t helped much either. Marc Márquez make the cut, because in Q2 he was last and will start twelfth in the race. Márquez tried to follow the wheel of I’m sorry Bagnaia in the decisive round, but was unable to keep up with the Ducati and ended up off the hook and bothering both Miguel Oliveira such as Jorge Martin.
Another case is that of Yamaha, whose circumstances continue to be dramatic. Fabio Quartararo tried it in the first moments of Q1 but the rain has not prevented his development. As a result, Yamaha finished with a woeful sixteenth place Frank Morbidelli, closely followed by Quartararo.
