Marc Marquez continues his perfect 2025 qualifying run by claiming a fourth MotoGP pole position of the season in Qatar.
But the factory Ducati star had to overcome a strong charge from younger brother Alex, who broke the lap record to hold pole as the chequered flag waved.
Marc then used a tow behind Franco Morbidelli to snatch P1 away from his brother by 0.101s.
The Marquez brothers may have been one-two again but there were surprises and drama behind them.
That included Fabio Quartararo momentarily snatching pole on his way to a rare front row for Yamaha and a crash for COTA winner Francesco Bagnaia leaving the Italian just 11th on the grid.
Maverick Vinales will join the VR46 Ducatis of Morbidelli and di Giannantonio on row two, as the top KTM rider in sixth place. Johann Zarco put his Honda into seventh.
Rookie Ai Ogura and Monster Yamaha’s Alex Rins reached Q2 by leading Qualifying 1, where factory Aprilia riders Marco Bezzecchi and returning world champion Jorge Martin just missed out.
It was a nightmare session for HRC's Joan Mir, who will start just 21st on the grid, ahead of only LCR rookie Somkiat Chantra.
Martin is making his Aprilia Grand Prix debut this weekend, after missing the opening three rounds due to multiple fractures - including complicated injuries to his left wrist.
Despite Martin’s comeback, the 2025 MotoGP grid remains incomplete, with Yamaha test rider Augusto Fernandez making a second stand-in appearance for the injured Miguel Oliveira at Pramac.
The unique Qatar night race timetable means the opening MotoGP track sessions of each day take place in bright sunshine while the evening sessions are held under the floodlights, in cooler temperatures.
The 11-lap Qatar Sprint race starts at 8pm local time, in much cooler night-time conditions.
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.
