MotoGP, Fulmine Quartararo, is also pole in Valencia, only 12th Rossi

As far as we can see, we wonder if this could be the right occasion, even if we get the first career victory in the premier class. A goal long dreamed of, but never realized until today. Yes, because on several occasions Marc Marquez got in the way and tomorrow, at 2.00 pm, he will start at his side on the grid with the idea of ​​making him lose his dream once again.

Despite the mere 32 thousandths of posting, Magic Marc is therefore confirmed as the direct rival of the transalpine, even if the latter seems to still accuse a few tenths of the race pace. As seen so far, a three-man challenge is expected, with Maverick Vinales appearing to have all the credentials to point to the next step. Showever, the Top Gun of the Yamaha will hit the second row. THEn qualification was in fact cheated by Jack Miller's Ducati for only 92 thousandths, accusing two tenths of a second dry by the M1 of the Petronas team.

Then the hat down in front of the Frenchman's super performance, the only one able to break down the wall of the 1:30, so as to block the time trial on the 1'29 "978. Staying with Yamaha, anonymous qualification for Valentino Rossi, author of a twelfth time almost a second off the top (+0.976). Apparently the love between the 46 and the Ricardo Tormo track, which saw the Doctor end up on two occasions yesterday, doesn't really take off. For the pilot of Tavullia, therefore, a race is shaping up to run all the way from the fourth row.

Valentino is the only one who continues to suffer on the dry circuit, since also the Yamaha of Franco Morbidelli is clinging to the upper floors of the class, thanks to a fifth time that allows him to precede the Ducati by Andrea Dovizioso (+0.533).

Apparently more than that could not do the Forlì, who for the duration of the race weekend has struggled to keep up with the best. The second half cashed in qualifying is confirmation of the difficulties with which Andrea must confront. It went even worse to Danilo Petrucci, only tenth followed by the KTM of Pol Espargarò.

The Spaniard KTM arrived at Q2 after having crossed the rock of Q1 together with Alex Rins, this last eighth, preceded by his partner Mir with Crutchlow's Honda behind him. Those who hoped to see Johann Zarco in Q2 will also be disappointed, since the Frenchman was excluded for almost three tenths. Nothing to do even for Michele Pirro, in the shade in Valencia. The same goes for Jorge Lorenzo and the Aprilia of A. Espargarò and Iannone with the latter preceded even by the debutant Lecuona.
