Marc Marquez clinched his first pole position as a Ducati MotoGP rider during a rainy qualifying session at the Spanish Grand Prix. Despite a scary moment in Turn 1 during Q2, Marquez’s impressive lap time of 1m46.773s put him on pole position. Marco Bezzecchi of Ducati GP23 was closest to Marquez, but a last-second mistake kept him from challenging for pole. The front row was completed by Championship leader Jorge Martin with a 2024-spec Desmosedici. Eight Ducatis dominated the top nine positions on the grid, with KTM’s Brad Binder in fourth place. Yamaha had a challenging session, with Fabio Quartararo starting from 23rd on the grid, the slowest among the manufacturers.
