MotoGP | GP Aragon Qualifying: Ducati double, Lorenzo on pole ahead of Dovizioso
The two official Ducatis preceded Marc Marquez's Honda, Petrucci seventh
MotoGP GP Aragon Qualifying – Incredible qualifying for the MotoGP class in Aragon, a few minutes from the end, no one wanted to “pull” anyone and at that moment Marc Marquez was in the lead.
However, the Spanish rider had to surrender to a Ducati one-two, first Andrea Dovizioso and then Jorge Lorenzo, they passed under the checkered flag, relegating the leader of the world championship standings to third place.
Lorenzo took the fourth pole of the season, number 43 in MotoGP, with a time of 1:46.881. Andrea Dovizioso is only 14 thousandths behind, for the third Ducati one-two after those at Silverstone and Misano. A Ducati hadn't been on pole at Aragon since 2010, then it was Casey Stoner who did it.
Cal Crutchlow with the Honda will open the second row (for the Brit also a crash on the last attempt, without consequences, ed.) where there are also Andrea Iannone with the Suzuki and Dani Pedrosa with the Honda.
Third row for Danilo Petrucci's Ducati GP18 of Team Pramac, for Alvaro Bautista's GP17 and for Alex Rins' Suzuki. Jack Miller, Maverick Vinales and Takaaki Nakagami occupy the fourth row.
We remind you that Valentino Rossi will start with the eighteenth time, having not passed Q1. A battle between the Ducatis and the Hondas is therefore shaping up, with Marquez who will have to give 110% if he wants to win in front of his home crowd.

Well done Jordi Torres, just 3 seconds for the first time on Moto GP, 2 tenths from his record on the same circuit with the MV in WSBK
Not even REA when he raced in Moto GP in 2012 and with an HRC (not a GP16 in 2018) managed to get that close.
BRAVO!
