Marc Marquez on Pole for Qatar MotoGP

Marc Marquez secured pole position for the 2025 Qatar MotoGP, continuing his strong performance despite a crash at the Americas GP that cost him the championship lead to his brother, Alex Marquez. Alex will start second, with Fabio Quartararo completing the front row for Yamaha, marking his first front-row finish since the 2022 Dutch GP. Pecco Bagnaia starts 11th after a crash in Q2, while reigning champion Jorge Martin returns from injury to start 14th, making his Aprilia debut. The Qatar GP promises a competitive race as Alex Marquez leads the championship by just one point over Marc, with Bagnaia also in contention. The event, known for being the only night race on the calendar, adds a unique atmosphere to the competition.
