Jorge Martín claimed the pole position for the MotoGP Italian Grand Prix in a stunning fashion, setting a new lap record at Mugello on his first attempt in Q2. Championship leader Martín’s impressive time ensured his pole position.
At the start of the session, Martín (Prima Pramac/Ducati) immediately broke the record set minutes earlier by his teammate Franco Morbidelli in Q1. Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati) was close behind, just 0.043s off Martín’s pace.
After the initial laps, Martín led the session, followed by Bagnaia in second, Maverick Viñales (Aprilia) in third, Marc Márquez (Gresini/Ducati) in fourth, and Enea Bastianini (Ducati) in fifth.
Marc Márquez was on a potential pole lap but suffered a crash at Scarperia, preventing him from improving his time. At that moment, he was in fourth place.
By the end of the session, the top positions remained unchanged, with Martín securing pole position, 0.043s ahead of Bagnaia. Viñales finished third, Marc Márquez fourth, and Bastianini fifth.
For the main race, Viñales, Marc Márquez, and Bastianini will each move up one position on the starting grid due to Bagnaia’s three-place penalty from an incident with Álex Márquez during practice.
