Marc Márquez endorsed his superiority over the weekend by getting the seventh pole position of the season in the Red Bull Ring, the only circuit where he has not been able to win in the MotoGP World Championship. The Honda leader also set a track record (1: 23.027), almost half a second faster than Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha), Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati) and Maverick Viñales (Yamaha).

This is the 59th 'pole position' for Márquez in the premier category, which also beats the historical record of Mick Doohan. "I've really done a very good lap," said the 26-year-old Spaniard. "I made a small mistake in the last sector, but I had a good pace," added the MotoGP pentacampeón.

The 63-point advantage in the World Cup can grow on Sunday, given that Dovizioso will depart more late than expected in the garage of Ducati, the benchmark of the last seasons in Spielberg. The Italian was surprised by Quartararo, elated with his second position "This first line is like a 'pole' for me. I am happy because I would never have thought of achieving a first line here," said Yamaha.

Iannone's record

After Cal Crutchlow (Honda) and Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati) certified their jump to Q2, Maverick Viñales (Yamaha) took the provisional command in the time tables. However, it did not take long for Márquez to take the head with that spectacular return that ended the three years of Andrea Iannone's reign.

In addition, Àlex Rins (Suzuki) will start seventh, while Pol Espargaró (KTM) will make it eleventh. Among those who did not qualify for Q2, Tito Rabat (Ducati) will start fifteenth and Aleix Espargaró (Aprilia), nineteenth.
