JAKARTA - The German MotoGP qualifying round took place on Saturday, June 17. As a result, Ducati's Francesco Bagnaia won pole position for sprints and full races.

Without drama and significant difficulties, Bagnaia scored the fastest lap 1:21,409 to secure the leading starting position in Germany for the second time in a row.

VR46 team driver Luca Marini, who is 0.078 seconds adrift of pole time, is in second place.

Meanwhile, Jack Miller from the KTM team will complete the front row.

Fate is not in favor of the King of Sachsenring, Marc Marquez. He looked overwhelmed when he hit the corner of the 3.67km circuit and several times the Repsol Honda team rider fell on the track.

Following a controversial incident in the second training session, Friday, when Marquez's motorbike fell towards the first corner and hit and destroyed Johann Zarco's motorbike who had just dropped out of the pit lane.

The Spaniard was recorded at least three times kissing asphalt in today's two qualifying sessions.

Through Q1, Marquez's last attempt before falling again in the second qualifying session was only able to bring him to the seventh starting position with a margin of 0.604 seconds from Bagnaia's record.

Marquez, who has won 11 times in Germany, eight of whom are in the MotoGP class, will start behind three Ducati motorbikes lined up in the second row, namely Zarco, Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martin.

When Marquez has not been able to remove this year's RC213V motorcycle "irreversal", Bagnaia enjoys one of the most stable and strongest mounts that brought him firmly at the top of the standings.

The Ducati Lenovo team rider has won three Grand Prix races and three sprints and is entrenched at the top with a 21-point advantage over Marco Bezzecki, who rides Ducati who is a year older.

Pecco also had a strong start to the season, unlike last season when he was 91 points behind leaders in the standings upon arrival in Germany.

Last year's German GP champion Fabio Quartararo was the only Yamaha rider to qualify for Q2 despite being late in the second qualifying session and starting from P12.
