Marc Marquez Secures Pole at Americas Grand Prix

Marc Marquez continued his dominant 2025 MotoGP season by securing his third consecutive pole position at the Americas Grand Prix, extending his unbeaten run as a factory Ducati rider. Marquez overcame a crash during practice and late yellow flag disruptions in qualifying to set a time of 2m01.088s, ensuring his eighth pole at the Circuit of the Americas. His brother, Alex Marquez, finished second in the sprint and races, maintaining a competitive position in the championship. Fabio Di Giannantonio initially lost and then regained his second-place qualifying position due to yellow flag penalties being reversed. Francesco Bagnaia and Pedro Acosta rounded out the top grid positions, with Bagnaia still struggling to match Marquez's pace despite improvements. The wet conditions on Friday tested the riders, but Marquez's performance in dry conditions on Saturday reaffirmed his status as the favorite for the race.
