Denied pole position by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo in front of his home crowd at Jerez, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez was on course to return thܫe favour at Le Mans, until the Frenc⭕hman rose to the occasion and sent the crowd into raptures on his final lap.

Speaking afterwards, Marquez insisted he knew Quartararo remained a threat for pole, despite smashing the Le Mans MotoGP lap record early in Saturda𒁏y’s qualifying session.

The Frenchman began the final run 0.350s behind the factory Ducati rider, t🐎hen, like Marquez, lost his next flying la🎃p to yellow flags.

Quartararo even found himself pushed off t🍒he front row but kept his composure to shatter his own previous best by 0.468s and snatch pole away from Marquez on the last lap.

“Fabio is riding in an incrediꦑble way, he deserved this pole position in front of his fans,” said Marquez. “He's doing an amazing job, already in Jerez he was super fast.

“Today he was fast again and when I stopp𝔍ed in the box [mid-session] we were talking about my time, a🐷nd [crew chief Marco] Rigamonti said to me, ‘Maybe, it’s enough’. I said ‘I think Quartararo will be faster’ and in the end, he was faster.

“I tried [to fight back], but I pushed a bit too much on that last sector and I lost time. But apart from that๊, I’m happy with my pace, happy to start on the front row, which was the main target.”

Quartararo’s final pole margin was 0.118s.

“It was amazing to really make this pole position,” said Quartararo. “Thanks to all of the [fans] to be really here to supporting us. It's a really importan🅘t pole position but the points are this afternoon and on Sunday but we will give our maximum to make [the fans] enjoy.”

“Fabio's a champion, it’s what he’s able to do”

Championship leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez rounded out the front r💟ow and praised both his brother and Quartararo for their performances 🐭so far.

“I’m really happy to be on the front row here. I 🦄mean these two guys are making a really good weekend, especially Marc but also Fabio is doing a great job and he did I think his perfect lap, in the right moment,” said Alex.

“He's a c🐎hampion, it’s what he’s able to do. But I’m really happy with our performance, we did a step compared to yesterday, so we are ready for the Sprint.”

After fumbling his Sprint chances with an early crash while being overtaken by Marc Marquez at Jerez, Quartararo will be out to end the Spaniard's perfect Sprint victory run this afternoon.
