Marc▨ Marquez and brother Alex lock out the top two places on the grid in Buriramඣ MotoGP qualifying.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez will start his first MotoGP races as a Ducati Lenovo rider from pole position 🐓at Buriram.
Fastest in pre-season testing, then ꧟Friday practice, Marquez’s pole was not a surprise, but he admitted to feeling pressure ahead of his first qualifying in ‘red’.
“Super happy to start in thi🏅s way,” said Marquez, seeking t💧o end a four-year title drought after moving to the factory Ducati team.
“When you arrive in an official team you have pressur🍒e, especially if you are in the best team of the moment.
“But I 💞feel super good all weekend, I’m riding in a good way. A♛nd let’s see.
“Now it’s the most important part: The Sprint and [GPꦅ] Race. We will try to do a🍌 good start, keep our level. We have a good pace but in races anything can happen.
“I’m alsꦛo super happy to share the🐠 front row with my brother.”
Marc was only 0.146s quicker than younger b♕rother and fo🅰rmer Gresini Ducati team-mate Alex, who confirme༒d his pre-season form was not a mirage.
“The ma♑in job today was the front row in this heat to avoid problems with the front tyre,” smiled Alex. “These two guys [Marc and Bagnaia] have something slightly more but you never know.
“For sure I will fight but we need to build a sꦏolid base🤡 in the first race weekend.”
Marc’s new team-mate Francesco Bagnaia salvag𒅌ed a front row after battling through Qualifying 1, the legacy of an incorrect yellow flag and then obstruction fr♐om Franco Morbidelli.
Eager to save a🦋 sec⛎ond new tyre for Q2, Bagnaia remained in the pits for the closing stages of Qualifying 1, watching on pensively as others tried to knock him from the top.
“The first white hair on my head comes today!” he joked. “It was not an easy choice bu🐼t it was the correct choice because the second tyre helped me a lot to be on the front row.
“It was just a shame to be in Qualifying 1 after what happened yesterday. But we are on the front row and we know we are faster on pace than we are on one la♕p…”
Bagnaia was 0.173s behind Marc Marquez.
Jack Miller joined Bagnaia in breaking out of Qualifying 1, then took advantage of a tow behind the Ital🥃ian to delight Pramac Yamaha with fourth place on the grid in Qualifying 2.
Rookie Ai Ogura was 🐼arguably the hero of the session, finishing fifth for Trackhouse, just 0.352s from pole, and top A꧒prilia in his very first MotoGP qualifying!
Franco Morbidelli will complete row two 🎃for VR46 but has a three place grid penalty to serve on Sunday (but not the Sprint) for holding up Bagnaia yesterday.
Pedro Acosta was top KTM in seventh ahead of Ogura’s team-mate Ra🎐ul Fernandez.
Factory Aprilia star Marco Bezzecchi and Honda’s Joan Mir both crashed in the closing stages, leaving them to start ninth and eleventh respectively and bringing out 𓆉yell꧃ow flags that dampened the end of the session.
Monster Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo was tenth with count༺ryman Johann Zarco twelfth for LCR Honda.
The 13-lap Thai MotoGP Sprint race starts at 3pm local time, when temperatures are ꦅset to hit 38 degrees.
