Marquez achieved his first best starting position

Already on his second racing weekend in his motoGP career, Marc Marquez took the best starting position. With an extremely fast lap of 2: 03: 021, he beat all the competition. All weekend, Je Marquez indicated that he was the fastest, and that three days of testing had come in handy. Teammate Dani pedrosa is in second place and Jorge Lorenzo is in third place. They were followed by Cal Crutchlow, Stefan Bradl, Andrea Dovizioso, Alvaro Bautista and in eighth place Valentino Rossi. He was incredibly fast with the CRT motorcycle Aleix Espargaro in ninth place, which was faster than quite a few prototypes. Wild card racer Michael Barnes (GP Tech) failed to achieve a fast enough time in qualifying, so he will not be in the race. Nor will Karl Abraham, who suffered a fractured right collarbone after a collision with Bryan Starring.
