MotoGP: Fernandez denies Bezzecchi for maiden pole, Marc Marquez and Martin off front row

analysis MotoGP: An interesting certifying unfolds in Indonesia as Bezzecchi and Di Giannantonio sign up with SuperFile Trackhouse on the front row

For the very first time in MotoGP, Raul Fernandez (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team )will introduce from lead as a tantalising certifying scrap unfolds at the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia. It’s an Aprilia 1-2 at the spearhead of the grid thanks to Marco Bezzecchi’s( Aprilia Racing) efforts, the Italian 0.109 s adrift of Fernandez’s 1:28.852, and rejecting Jorge Martin( Aprilia Racing) and Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team )a front row begin on Lombok was a rather fast birthday young boy on Saturday early morning– Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team )the rider to sign up with Fernandez and Bezzecchi on the front row.

Q1: ALDEGUER & OGURA JUMP TO Q2 IN DRAMA-FILLED QUALI OPENER

Right out of the certifying cage, 2025 Indonesian GP winner Fermin Aldeguer (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) set his finest lap of the weekend to top the early running in the opening 15-minute time attack stint, before his time was beaten by Ai Ogura (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team). A 1:29.729 saw the Japanese rider increase above Aldeguer by 0.016 s before Aldeguer went back to P1 by 0.090 s, as Ogura then crashed in the closing phases at Turn 12 to see his session end too soon. And being in P2, would Ogura keep his Q2 promo location?

It was a session of attrition in Q1. Johann Zarco (Castrol Honda LCR), who crashed on his very first flying lap at Turn 1, and Jack Miller (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP) crashed at Turn 2 within a second of each other. Somewhere Else, Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech3) struck the deck at Turn 1, and Diogo Moreira (Pro Honda LCR) was likewise a crasher at the opening corner too.

All of this did suggest Ogura kept his leading 2 location, with Aldeguer cruising through too. A fast shoutout too for Toprak Razgatlioglu (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP). Less than an hour after dislocating his best shoulder in FP2, the Turk certified less than a 2nd off Aldeguer’s leading time in Q1. Chapeau.

Q2: FERNANDEZ FLIES TO POLE AS MM93 & JM89 MISS OUT ON FRONT ROW

At the end of the very first leaflets in the fight for pole, Marc Marquez led Bezzecchi by 0.025 s as the title chasers set 1:29.2 s, however the rate will show up a notch or 2. Di Giannantonio briefly reached P2 before Bezzecchi fired home a 1:28.961 to cruise to provisionary pole, with Fernandez slotting into 2nd location– 0.211 s far from the Italian.

The very first 2 time attack efforts from Martin didn’t go as prepared. The title race leader sat P7, 0.814 s adrift of his colleague. And navigating the last 6 minutes of certifying in Indonesia, Martin was watched by Marc Marquez. Simply put, the leading 2 in 2026’s title race thriller were together, and having actually been offered the message that he was being followed by the # 93, Martin could not get rid of the seven-time MotoGP World Champion from his tailpipes.

Simply ahead of duo on track was Fernandez, and it was the Practice pacesetter who set a 1:28.852 to go P1. Martin and Marc Marquez both enhanced, the Ducati star somewhat quicker, with the champion leading 2 sat P4 and P5 in the session with 3 minutes to go as Di Giannantonio jumped back onto the front row.

Bezzecchi was then setting the timing screens alight, however his lap was stopped after Aldeguer crashed at Turn 16. That highlighted the yellow flags, however there sufficed time left on the clock for Bez to have another bite at the cherry.

An enhancement didn’t come on his most current effort. Had the life from that soft rear Michelin vanished? What had actually gone was Marc Marquez’s pole and front row possibilities. Regardless of a session-best very first split, the time disappeared in the 2nd split, and with that, Q2 waned.

THE GRID

Fernandez will introduce from his very first MotoGP lead in the Tissot Sprint and Grand Prix in Indonesia, with Bezzecchi and Di Giannantonio signing up with the Trackhouse star on the front row.

A hit Row 2 sees Marc Marquez launch from P4, Martin fires far from P5, and 2025 winner Aldeguer go from P6. Ogura recuperated from his Q1 crash to certify in P7 to sit ahead of Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) and Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) on the grid, the leading 9 divided by half a 2nd, while Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team), Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team), and Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) comprise P10, P11, and P12 on the grid.

TURNING UP: WE GO SPRINTING IN INDONESIA

That’s an appealing grid, isn’t it? The leading 2 in the title race off the front row, with the stakes exceptionally high entering into this afternoon. Do not miss it. 15:00 regional time.
