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.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
