Ducati are forced out of action at Portimao due to injuries to Marquez and Bagnaia: this is how the starting grid remains for the MotoGP Portuguese Grand Prix

he already said it Gigi Dall’Igna Despite achieving the Triple Crown in 2025, ducati They are closer. In case you were wondering, the best example is Portimao’s classification. There are no Borgo Panigale bikes in the top three.

The best thing was Marco Bezzecchi,it is aprilia He took his fourth pole position of the year with a fierce final run. italian He signed for 3 laps which would have allowed him to start at least 2nd place.but it was already enough to start from their first position. His 1.37.556 was his best time of the entire weekend.

Those who have a great opportunity are Pedro Acosta. KTM Murcián He hasn’t been on the front line since last year’s Japanese GP. And thanks to his excellent qualifying laps, he will start from second place in the two races at Portimao. He is 1.5 seconds behind Bezzecchi and will be fighting for his long-awaited first MotoGP victory.

You have to go to the second row to see the first Ducati. Pecco Bagnaia He was missing throughout Q2, but achieved the record on the final timed lap. 4th best time. Of course, there is a difference of nearly 4 tenths of a second from Bezzecchi. But things got worse Alex Marquez. The Gresini native had a clear advantage on Friday and was the favorite for pole position, but He crashed in Turn 3 on the final lap and had to settle for fifth place..

I must also emphasize Quartararo’s great role. The Frenchman will take full advantage of Yamaha’s strength from Q1 and will start from 3rd place.
