168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez wrestled an ‘unexpected’ fourth pole position of the season away from younger brother Alex during a record-breaking Qualifying 2 at the Qatar MotoGP.

The 1♍5-minute showdown at Lusail was dominated by the Marquez brothers, with pole position swinging back and forth between the Spaniards.

Only a surprise charge from Yamaha’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo interrupted their family duel, briefly 💞placing the Frenchman on provisional pole.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez quickly reclaimไed the top spot aboard his Gresini Ducati GP24, laying down a blistering pen🔯ultimate lap.

But as the chequered flag waved, Ma𒉰rc found a crucial tow behind Franco Morbidelli, shaving off just enough time to edge ahead by 0.101s and snatch pole.

“I already understood on the first tyre Alex was supe✤r fast. He was riding in a very 🍎good way,” Marc said.

After Marc followed Alex on the opening run, the Marquez brothers left the pits together for their final run. But 🃏Marc held back, caught in a cro♌wded field of riders all jostling for slipstreams.

“With the second tyre we were playing out there with a lot of riders, but I was the one that had the pole position [at that time], so there was no meaning for me to push and I ꧑just waited to be the last of the group,” Marquez explained.

“My last lap was not a clean lap, but it was enough to be on a pole position - an unexpected pole positi🌸on here in Qatar.”

But Alex may yet have the last laugh due to a di📖fferent sort of ‘clean’, believing there is less dust on his part of the grid.

“I have the clean part! I think third and second position is the best because it's more clean, so we'll see,” said🦂 the world championship leader.

“It was not 🌠easy this afternoon, in free practice I crashed on the second lap. A really strange crash and I was not feeling really good.

“But later on I was able to forget that, push in qual꧅ifying and make two really good time attacks. Just in the last lap I maybe pushed a little bit too much and was not able to improve.

“But anyway I'm really happy to be second.”

Also delജighted was Y🐠amaha’s Quartararo, who claimed his first front row since the 2022 Dutch Grand Prix.

“To be honest, I forget the feeling of being on the front row!” grinned Quaඣrtararo. “I think it's going to help us a lot during the ඣraces.

“Our pace is not super great, 𝐆but I think that starting already from third position will help us quite a lot.”

Quartararo had asked his team to focus only on normal set-up changes, rather than any back-to-back data gathering, this weekend to try and unlock 🌃all the performance ꦿavailable from the M1.

Alex Marquez will start this evening Sprint ෴with a one point lead over Marc.

Third in the world championship Francesco Bagnaia, winner after team-mate Marc crashed from the lead in COTA, fell during qualifying and will start only 11th – a major blow to his hopes of reeling in the Marquez brothers in the early title fight.
