The battlelines are firmly drawn at Motegi as Jorge Martin shattered the circuit record to secure pole position for the Japanese Grand Prix. The Aprilia star delivered a stellar qualifying performance, edging out his closest rivals in a high-stakes shootout under the Japanese sun.
Sunday's front row will feature an intriguing three-manufacturer showdown. Right behind Martin sits Marc Marquez, who carries strong momentum into the main event after his brilliant sprint victory. Meanwhile, Austrian GP winner Pedro Acosta completes the front row, locking in a diverse top three for the lights-out moment.
Further down the order, drama unfolds for the factory Ducati squad. Francesco Bagnaia suffered a nightmare qualifying session, missing out on Q2 and leaving him with a mountain to climb from 13th on the grid. Compounding the challenge, Michelin has banned soft tyres for the grand prix, forcing teams to rethink their race strategies.
