Jorge Martin destroys his rivals to take pole position for the 2024 Indonesian MotoGP by over half a second at Mandalika.
The title leader will be joined on the front row of the grid by Marco Bezzecchi, who had been on the ground just a few minutes before the chequered flag, and rookie Pedro Acosta.
Martin's title rival Francesco Bagnaia plus factory Ducati team-mate Enea Bastianini and Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo will form row two.
Marc Marquez and Enea Bastianini fell on the opening run, the resulting yellow flags meaning Bagnaia and Franco Morbidelli also went into the last run without having set a lap time.
Marquez, whose first fall came while chasing Jorge Martin, then fell for a nightmare second time while trying to follow Bagnaia, and was left 12th.
Miguel Oliveira is absent after fracturing his right wrist in a Friday morning highside.
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.
