JAKARTA - Aprillia Racing racer Maverick Vinales took pole position in the final MotoGP 2023 series in Valencia after becoming the fastest in the qualifying session.

Vinales completed the qualification with a time of 1 minute 28.931 seconds at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit, Valencia, Spain, Friday, November 25 evening WIB.

Following in second place is Italian Francesco Bagnaia with a time difference of +0.092 seconds. Starting from the front row is clearly profitable for Bagnaia.

The Ducati Lenovo Team racer is trying to defend his title. He needed 16 more points to ensure himself as a world champion twice in a row.

Complementing the top three is Johann Zarco. The French racer is behind +0.213 seconds behind Vinales and is +0.017 seconds ahead of Jack Miller who stalked fourth.

Brad Binder is behind the four names. He is entitled to fifth position after completing his duties with a time of +0,240 seconds.

Meanwhile, Jorge Martin, who is hunting for the title with Bagnaia, will start the race from sixth. This is not a good start for the Spaniard.

Because he is currently 21 points behind Bagnaia. For that, he needs to keep his rival from securing a total of 16 points each from the sprint race and the main race.

The other four riders after Martin who completed the top ten in a row were Marco Bezzecki, Alex Marquez, Marc Marquez, and Raul Fernandez.
