Rookie of the Year contender, Pramac Racing’s Jorge Martin shocked the MotoGP field by taking his maiden pole position, in just his 2^nd ever MotoGP weekend, with a time of 1:53.106. Johann Zarco made it a Pramac Racing 1-2. Monster Energy Yamaha’s Maverick Viñales showed his pace in the closing stages of the Q2 session, securing 3^rd position for tomorrow’s race.

Ducati Lenovo’s Jack Miller will start tomorrow’s #DohaGP from 4^th, visibly frustrated at the end of the Q2 session. Miller will be looking to fight for the victory tomorrow after being blighted by tyre issues at last weekend’s #QatarGP. Monster Energy Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo secured 5^th on the grid, ahead of Ducati Lenovo’s Francesco Bagnaia, who made it 4 Ducatis in the top 6.

Aprilia Racing Team Gresini’s  Aleix Espargaro, despite a gargantuan effort from the Spaniard, will line up 7^th  , and will aim to battle for the podium during the #DohaGP. The Team Suzuki ECSTAR duo completed the 3^rd row, as Alex Rins qualified 8^th, with Joan Mir in 9^th , after competing through Q1 to secure his grid spot.

Petronas Yamaha SRT’s Franco Morbidelli rounded out the top 10, after struggling through the free practice sessions. Repsol Honda’s Stefan Bradl placed 11^th, after a small crash during FP3, and will be aiming for a top 10 finish. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Miguel Oliveira secured 12^th position, having battled through both qualifying sessions, completing the 4^th row ahead of tomorrow’s #DohaGP.

SKY VR46 Esponsorama’s Luca Marini qualified in 13^th, despite his best efforts through Q1.  A top 10 finish will be his aim tomorrow. LCR Honda duo, Alex Marquez and Takaaki Nakagami missed out on Q2, as did Petronas Yamaha SRT’s  Valentino Rossi, presumably they will look to make a comeback during tomorrow’s #DohaGP.

Can the Pramac Racing duo fend off the rest of the field? Will Viñales do the double, or can Miller and Bagnaia spoil the party on the podium?
