Francesco Bagnaia put on a masterclass performance during the qualifying session at the San Marino Grand Prix, setting a new lap record and securing pole position.
Bagnaia, who has been in phenomenal form this season, showcased his speed and precision on the Misano track, further solidifying his status as a top contender for the championship.
In stark contrast, Marc Márquez endured a difficult session, suffering a crash that left him in ninth place on the grid. Márquez, who has been battling consistency issues throughout the season, was unable to match Bagnaia’s pace and will now face a tough challenge starting from the third row in the race.
Bagnaia’s dominant qualifying performance sets him up perfectly for a strong showing in the race, while Márquez will need to dig deep to make his way through the field. Fans are eagerly anticipating the race, as Bagnaia continues his pursuit of the championship and Márquez seeks redemption from his challenging session.
