MotoGP: Quartararo bags Le Mans pole

Posted by AR1 staff

Arm pump surgery to home Grand Prix pole position. Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) is France’s hero on a Saturday once more after a phenomenal couple of qualifying sessions at the SHARK Grand Prix de France, a mostly dry Le Mans track saw the Frenchman set a 1:32.600 on his final flying lap to beat teammate Maverick Viñales by 0.081s.

Spanish GP winner Jack Miller (Ducati Lenovo Team) is on the front row, his teammate and World Championship leader Francesco Bagnaia is forced to start 16th.

Pole looked set to go to Marc Marquez as spots of rain appeared in the latter stages, but the top six changed right at the death as a number of riders found lap time improvements in the conditions.
