It’s not nice to get a pole position by pushing behind someone, but that’s the only way I could do it. I made the most of my riding style, honestly this is not our real position, but we will always fight hard. the stamp of the champion, in full recovery after the fourth operation on his right arm. He has found his form again but not a top-level Honda and in fact to set the time he has to go under tow, he may suffer in terms of race pace but he has shown that he can fit into the fray and it will be a variable to take into account. Oliveira’s fourth time was excellent, the Portuguese also came from Q1: he placed his Aprilia from the Rnf satellite team ahead of the official ones: Vinales seventh and Aleix Espargaro twelfth. To close the top 10 Luca Marini and Marco Bezzecchi of the Vr46 team.

Debut for Enea Bastianini on the factory Ducati with a sixth time: the Romagna rider didn’t take any risks and paid for a gap of more than three tenths from his teammate Bagnaia and was used by Marquez to take pole.

Bagnaia: Penalized by traffic

Bagnaia was penalized by the traffic on the track, in particular by Oliveira: The first attempt went well, then everything was ruined for me. But that’s okay too. The goal was the front row. It was important to start ahead both in the Sprint Race and in Sunday’s race.

THE COMPLETE TIMES OF THE PORTIMAO GP QUALIFYING

In Q1, Honda is in trouble, Marquez takes care of it.

Marquez and Miguel Oliveira (with the Aprilia of the Rnf team) gained access to Q2, Marc eliminated his little brother Alex (who moved to Ducati) who had been faster for most of the weekend.
