Alex Marquez overcame a crash and fire on his Gresini Ducati machine in the first qualifying session to take his maiden pole position in MotoGP at the Argentina Grand Prix on Saturday, on a damp track where his tyre gamble paid off.
But as the track began to dry up, several riders switched to slick tyres and Marquez - who hitched a ride back to the paddock - capitalised to take pole right at the end to start up front for the sprint later on Saturday and for Sunday's race. "I did my best with the wet tyres. Later on I go in I thought there was no time to change the tyres. But we changed the tyres... and it was working, so really happy for that and looking forward to the sprint and the race."
"Considering the number of wet patches, it was very risky . But I'm very happy... Let's focus on the race but these conditions are very tricky," Bagnaia said.Yamaha's Franco Morbidelli was initially the fastest man on the wet tyres but will now start fourth on the grid, while his team mate Fabio Quartararo struggled, finishing the session 10th fastest.
