Maverick Vinales secured a first MotoGP pole in over two years at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo, while Francesco Bagnaia out-qualified
Vinales, who was fastest in Friday practice, started the session calmly and finished with the sixth-best time, while Brad Binder set the fastest time of the weekend. Bagnaia, despite setting the fastest time in Q1, could only manage 11th place due to using up his worn tire. Martin performed well, just 0.011s off Binder’s time, but struggled with front grip and couldn’t improve his position. Vinales ultimately secured pole position with a new lap record, followed by Bagnaia in second and Jack Miller in third. Martin finished fifth, leaving him with work to do in the races.
