The championship tension reached a boiling point as the decisive qualifying session got underway under the floodlights at the Lusail International Circuit. The fierce on-track battle showcased how the leading riders had to push their machinery to the absolute limit to secure a vital starting slot. Atmosphere inside the pit lane buzzed with high anxiety the moment the pit lane opened, signaling the start of a high-stakes hunt for the ultimate lap time.
Marco Bezzecchi delivered a stunning performance under immense pressure to snatch the coveted pole position. The Italian rider unleashed a phenomenal lap time that shattered his rivals' ambitions in the closing seconds. This crucial achievement places him at the very front of the grid, ready to dictate the pace when the lights go out for the upcoming Grand Prix.
Meanwhile, Marc Marquez had to settle for second place on the grid after pushing hard to tame his machine across the desert tarmac. The multiple-time world champion initially set the benchmark early in the session, but Bezzecchi’s blistering pace in the final sectors ultimately thwarted his pole aspirations. Joining them on the front row, Fabio Di Giannantonio completed the top three after displaying remarkable consistency throughout the weekend.

A completely different narrative unfolded for Jorge Martin, who faced a massive uphill battle as lingering physical pain resurfaced during the sessions. The title contender struggled heavily just to navigate through Q2, ultimately finding himself mired outside the top ten on the starting grid. This setback delivers a significant blow to his championship strategy heading into the crucial stages of the weekend.
Earlier in the day, the Q1 battle delivered intense moments as young talents fought fiercely for promotion. Fermin Aldeguer topped the timesheets despite a minor run-off incident, followed closely by Pedro Acosta who also advanced. Elsewhere, riders like Franco Morbidelli and Iker Lecuona added to the dramatic qualifying spectacle.
