JAKARTA - Jorge Martin, Pramac Racing racer, managed to secure pole position after performing brilliantly at the 2024 French MotoGP Qualification, Saturday, May 11, 2024.
Not only being the fastest, Martin also broke the fastest lap record. He made his best time record 1 minute 29.919 in the Q2 session at the Le Mans Circuit.
Francesco Bagnaia then secured the second grid after his time was 0.192 adrift of Martin.
Maverick Vinales completed the start on the front grid at the 2024 French MotoGP race, May 12, 2024.
The paths Q1 and Q2 are interesting. Enea Bastianini (1:30,233), Miguel Oliveira (1:30,478), and Marc Marquez (1:30,586) are actually in pole position in Q1.

Bastianini and Marquez are competing to be the best. However, the Gresini Racing rider made a mistake at Turn 2. Even though he didn't crash, he left the track for failing to control his motorbike.
The incident was put to good use by Bastianini who was able to improve his time record so that it became the fastest in Q1.
Ahead of Q1, the yellow flag flew because Johann Zarco (LCR Honda) and Augusto Fernandez (GAS Tech3) fell.
In the remaining time, Marquez failed to sharpen his time record and even secured second place. He was instead evicted by Miguel Oliveira.
The drama occurred in Q2 where the three fastest Q1 riders were even thrown from the top three.
It was precisely Jorge Martin, Aleix Espargaro, and Maverick Vinales who had been competing fiercely from the start.
Martin had set the fastest lap record to sit in first place with 1 minute 30.141 seconds. He was 0.2 seconds ahead of Vinales in second.
Francesco Bagnaia tried to undermine the dominance of Martin and Vinales. However, his efforts failed after Martin set another lap record.
The Pramac Racing racer sharpened his time record to 1 minute 29.919 seconds to make himself stronger in first place.
In the last five minutes of Q2, the riders continued to strive to sharpen their time record in order to get a good start position.
However, Bagnaia has not been able to surpass Martin's score. He could only perch in second place because he could not continue the qualification after the crash and his motorbike caught fire.
Luckily for Martin too. Despite the crash in the last minute, his last record of time was nothing that could surpass him again.
Meanwhile, Marc Marquez was thrown into position 13, just below Miguel Oliviera. Then, Bastianini only managed to secure the 10th grid for the race later.
Apart from that, the riders will return to the Le Mans Circuit to undergo the French MotoGP Sprint Race 2024 on May 11, 2024 at 20.00 WIB. They then started the race on Sunday, May 12, 2024.
