MotoGP Aragon, Qualifying 2: Marquez, pole with record! Rossi is fourth
Another pole position for the Honda rookie, who beats Jorge Lorenzo by just 10 thousandths
Marc Marquez obtained his seventh MotoGP pole at the Motorlan in Aragon (1:47.804), i.e. 50% of the qualifying sessions held so far! The world championship leader beat his rival Jorge Lorenzo by a hair's breadth, trailing by just 10 thousandths, not nothing. With them in the front row Dani Pedrosa, the fastest of Free Practice 4, 153 thousandths behind his team-mate in HRC.
Valentino Rossi, fourth, touches the front row. The nine-time world champion from Yamaha is in fact only 5 thousandths slower than Pedrosa. a very minimal gap. Compared to yesterday he improved both his pace and lap time a lot and in the race with a good start he could be among the protagonists.
With him on the second row the Honda of German Stefan Bradl and that of Spaniard Alvaro Bautista. Seventh is Cal Crutchlow, ahead of a positive Bradley Smith and the first Ducati, that of Andrea Dovizioso, who will start from the third row.
The other two Ducatis of Nicky Hayden and Andrea Iannone will instead start from the fourth row, having achieved the eleventh and twelfth times.

Great qualifying, one of the best of the season for the suspense until the final seconds. Only Pedrosa's red helmets were missing in the last attempt and it would have been even more uncertain.
I hope that the values on the field are the same in the race too, that the race is very close and that the temperatures are these so as not to see the Hondas go away, given that with high temperatures they seem to preserve the tires better.
Rossi finally did a decent qualifying, in the sense that this is what he should be able to do every weekend, not to compete for the victory but at least for the podium.
Perhaps we will revise the script of the last race a little, in which Rossi will stay with the leaders at the start and then break away towards the middle of the race.
The Ducatis are along the lines of last season, looking at the times, perhaps 1 or 2 tenths better, but the gaps are still significant.
On the pace shown in FP4, the Hondas seem superior to both Lorenzo and Rossi, so perhaps it will be harder for the Yamaha riders to keep up in the race.
...and after this review we look forward to tomorrow's race...it's nice to hear Meda enthusiastic about a fourth place...he should be used to it by now...good thing we're at the end of the championship...
it burns your CU£O fatman.... Get treated for both CU£O and ENVY!!! AH… AH…. AH…
Guys don't offend me fatman who is Valentino Rossi's number 1 fan. Wherever Rossi is talked about he is always there!! only esteem for an avid and obsessed fan like Fatman! You don't even miss the news where redheads fart.. Big comments
Hahaha fatman these still believe in envy hahaha!
Envy who?!!
A thing like that just because it's full of money?
Envy... you could envy Melandri who has a big pussy, or Totti who has Ilary and at most one who has the F40, then maybe yes!
I'm sorry, I prefer the way I am, scrambling for the end of the month rather than that clown and all the rest of the shit that is there, ahahaha what an asshole!!!
The ever-increasing smallness of canaries, hahaha!
By the way, are they starting to come out of their burrows for a little mirage?
...I repeat!: settle for fourth place and stay united...I'm having fun, nothing but...seeing the canaries come out into the open with every "acceptable" performance...blissful inferiority hahaha...come on, tomorrow he'll win by separation...come on, slippers...stay united ahahahaha!
Sorry Fatman but what the hell do you have to do with this sport...here we support, not hate or envy...You have the wrong site...yours is Gazzettadellosport!! come on, go for a ride there and leave the motorbikes alone!!! Having said this Ronnie, I agree with your analysis and I am also convinced that with high temperatures the Hondas conserve the tires better!! Anyway let's hope for a good battle tomorrow and not a solitary escape!!!
@fatman Your life must be really sad if you enjoy yourself with so little and in this way. Sometimes I would like to reply and offend you but then I think that on the other side there is a person, obese and a loser, but there is a person with feelings and a sad life.
I hope you can be happy one day :)
What a disappointment Bradl... in every qualifying he is trailing someone (in this case Pedrosa)...
@durim
…it's true, I'm sad and unlucky…but what a year to remember…v*******@!
I'll cheer you up! Watch this video

These things happen... it's a shame it happened to Lorenzo. If it had happened to Rossi you would have laughed until tomorrow ;) Because as always it's cool to say that Rossi sucks. Smile at life Fatman
You're a bit like children... who act like naughty people to get noticed. Offending Rossi is the only way you can be "noticed" on the blog and perhaps the only place you can have conversations with people. I understand you.. and my heart aches every time I think of you ;) Come on, don't give up ;)
... don't worry, I'm not discouraged... tomorrow let's hope Bautista will defeat your idol... have you seen H? Durim Durello gave me a profile...Criminal Minds of the poor ahahahah...I thought that with bestlapirla we had reached rock bottom, but instead there is no limit to the worst!
