Marc Márquez takes pole position in MotoGP at Austin, Rossi 2nd and Crutchlow 3rd

The MotoGP World Championship has been the second to take to the Austin circuit, in the United States, to contest the fight for pole position in the premier class, so there is maximum expectation at the American track, where we will see all the riders giving their all.

The first riders to take to the track have been those who did not manage to sneak into the top 10 of the combined times from the previous practice sessions, so now it’s time to fight for the first two places that give access to Q2. In this Q1, the best were Lorenzo and Petrucci, who managed to get to the front and will contest Q2. Meanwhile, the top 13-22 was completed with Dovizioso 13th, 14th Mir, 15th Nakagami, 16th Aleix Espargaró, 17th Iannone, 18th Oliveira, 19th Zarco, 20th Abraham, 21st Syahrin and 22nd Rabat.

And the moment of truth arrived, Q2, where we have seen a beautiful battle between several riders to get the best lap time, but Márquez went out like a bullet and quickly took the honorary position, watching as several riders tried to attack his time, including Rossi, who made several spectacular slides.

Finally, Márquez was the best and the pole sitter for this event in Austin, setting a time of 2:03.787, while Rossi had to settle for second place, finishing +0.273s behind the first. For his part, the top 12 was completed with Crutchlow 3rd, Miller 4th, Pol Espargaró 5th, Viñales 6th, Rins 7th, Petrucci 8th, Quartararo 9th, Morbidelli 10th, Lorenzo 11th and 12th Bagnaia. The time and pace of Pol Espargaró on the KTM is very interesting; it seems this machine could produce surprises soon.

On to the race.
