Official Red Bull Ring MotoGP Records:

Best lap: Francesco Bagnaia 1m 28.508s (2024)

Fastest race lap: Francesco Bagnaia 1m 29.840s (2023)

Jorge Martin beats Francesco Bagnaia to pole position for the 2024 Austrian MotoGP with a new lap record at the Red Bull Ring.

Chasing his third Red Bull Ring win in a row, practice leader Bagnaia was on provisional pole as the final run began.

But Martin, riding with discomfort from a cut to his left thumb, apparently sustained while getting out of the shower last night, blasted to a 1m 27.789s to snatch pole away.

Bagnaia starts this afternoon’s Sprint just three points behind title leader Martin.

Marc Marquez got the better of a surprise front row challenge from Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro for third place - albeit half a second behind Martin - with Jack Miller and Maverick Vinales completing row two.

Miller and Pol Espargaro reached Qualifying 2 by leading Q1, but Miguel Oliveira - who set the exact lap time as Espargaro - and Pedro Acosta narrowly missed out and will start 13th and 14th.

Espargaro, who looked to have potential front-row pace, crashed at turn 3 on his final run in Qualifying 2, tapping his head on the ground in frustration.

Test riders Pol Espargaro (KTM), Lorenzo Savadori (Aprilia) and Stefan Bradl (Honda) are making wild-card appearances this weekend.

High tyre stress at the Sachsenring means Michelin brings a reinforced rear construction for the Red Bull Ring.

Fabio di Giannantonio dislocated his left shoulder in a Friday accident and has been ruled unfit for the remainder of the weekend.
