Motogp: Zarco's paw, his pole at Sachsenrig

Fabio Quartararo's pole at Sachsenring seemed to have been acquired by now, when Johann Zarco, in the final seconds of Q2, squeezed the maximum out of his Ducati Pramac and took first place on the grid to his compatriot Yamaha. The two Frenchmen will start from the front in the German GP, ​​accompanied by a great Aleix Espargaro who has brought Aprilia back to the front row after 21 years. The second will also be occupied by riders riding three different brands: Jack Miller's Ducati Lenovo (who made a mistake during his last flying lap), Marc Marquez's Honda Repsol and Miguel Oliveira's KTM. For Marquez it is the best qualifying result since the return after last year's accident. The Italians are not at ease on the German circuit. The best is Francesco Bagnaia with the second official Ducati,tenth. In the fifth row are the Ducatis of Luca Marini (14 / o) and Enea Bastianini (15 / o). Valentino Rossi, after failing to enter Q2 and having experienced another gray day, opens the sixth row. His Yamaha Petronas teammate Franco Morbidelli is 18 / o, Danilo Petrucci (KTM) 19 / o. It did not go better for the reigning world champion, Joan Mir, only 17 / o. "I am very happy, we worked well with the team, we made important progress on such a demanding track - commented Zarco, who crashed after taking pole, his sixth in the maximum displacement - It will be more difficult on the race pace because when the tire drops I struggle, but starting from the front is an advantage. The crash? I leaned too much at turn 5, luckily I didn't hurt myself. A little disappointed the leader of the Quartararo world championship,who has never won on this track: "I had a hard time doing this single lap, but my goal was to hit the front row: I did it, we are there for the race". Aleix Espargaro can only smile, while stressing that "it is true, we are only on Saturday". "But we must be happy with this result - adds the Spaniard - especially for the work that the people who are committed to Aprilia are doing behind the scenes. Now I hope to be able to fight in the race with the fastest".But we must be happy for this result - adds the Spaniard - especially for the work that the people who are committed to Aprilia behind the scenes are doing.
