The Italian rider Marco Bezzecchi has achieved pole position for the Italian Grand Prix of MotoGP, a historic moment for Aprilia as it positions itself at the front of the starting grid for the first time. Bezzecchi set the fastest time in the qualifying session held on Saturday at Mugello.
The current champion, Marc Marquez, put in a notable performance on his return, qualifying as the best Ducati rider in fourth place. Joining Bezzecchi in the front row will be Trackhouse rider Raul Fernandez, who achieved the second best time, just 0.224 seconds behind.
The third place went to Jorge Martin, who was very close to the front positions, thus turning the fight for victory into an exciting three-way duel. The second row will be completed by Fermin Aldeguer from Gresini and Francesco Bagnaia from Ducati.
Among the surprises, Fabio di Giannantonio, who had dominated the previous sessions, could only position himself in seventh place. Another relevant piece of information is the presence of two substitute riders: Michele Pirro, who will replace Alex Marquez at Gresini, and Cal Crutchlow, who is returning from retirement to replace Johann Zarco.
This Sunday, the starting grid promises strong emotions with teams and riders ready to fight for victory at one of the most iconic circuits in the MotoGP calendar.
