Johann Zarco and Jack Miller, MotoGP grand prix winners, played key roles in the final part of qualifying for the 2025 Suzuka 8 Hours, with Zarco securing pole and a lap record for Honda.
The Saturday session, known as the ‘Top 10 Trial’, showcased the 10 best crews based on combined average times from Friday’s qualifying, where the best individual laptime for each entry counted.
Miller, representing Yamaha, had been fast throughout the day and was a strong contender for pole position.
Although Miller crashed on his potentially record-breaking lap, he expressed confidence in his bike and teammate Locatelli, who ultimately set a competitive time.
Zarco, also riding for Honda, managed to snatch pole position from Locatelli by a tiny margin, setting a new record.
Naomichi Uramoto secured the third position on the grid for Suzuki, trailing Zarco and Locatelli.
