Bezzecchi became the first rider under 1:45 and beat Marc Marquez by 0.018 seconds for pole position, Aprilia said.
- On Saturday, Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi snatched pole position for the Aragon Grand Prix at MotorLand, becoming the first rider to break the 1:45 barrier with a record lap of 1:44.962.
- Bezzecchi's pace ended reigning world champion Marc Marquez's bid for a hat-trick of poles, with Marquez accepting that Bezzecchi currently possesses the faster bike.
- Gresini Racing's Alex Marquez completes the front row, while Johann Zarco marked a successful return from injury by reaching Q2 as the only Honda rider to do so.
- "I'm happy to be fast and to grab the pole position," Bezzecchi said, adding that Marc and Alex pose a "tough fight" as the Sprint approaches this afternoon.
- Aprilia's speed at MotorLand surprised Jorge Martin, who previously considered the track difficult for the RS-GP bike, while KTM rider Pedro Acosta struggled with front confidence due to tyre allocation changes.
