2022 MotoGP: Martin on pole, Quartararo finishes P4 at Valencia qualifier

We are now at the end of a very exciting race season with the last decision down between two extremely talented riders. The stage is set for the #TheDecider that will take place on Sunday after the completion of MotoGP qualifying today at the Gran Premio Motul de la Comunitat Valenciana. Jorge Martin (Prima Pramac Racing) secured pole position for the final race of the season while Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) finished P4 on the grid at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo.
Quartararo will start a full row ahead of World Championship leader Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team), who qualified eighth.
What are the odds of Pecco or Quartararo winning tomorrow, click below:

Martin was on the pace immediately in Q2, setting a 1:29.621 which would still be the fastest at the end of the first runs. Jack Miller (Ducati Lenovo Team) was second on a 1:29.834 and Quartararo fourth on a 1:30.135, while Bagnaia was back to pitlane after a single 1:30.766 which left him 11th when the track went quiet.
Miller’s hopes of one last pole for Ducati then disappeared when he crashed at Turn 2, while an under-the-weather Marc Marquez jumped from ninth to P2 when he fired in a 1:30.049. Bagnaia moved to sixth, ahead of Quartararo, when he set a 1:30.049 before ‘El Diablo’ leapfrogged his title rival by clocking a 1:30.027.
The 2022 World Champion will be crowned tomorrow – whoever that may be – after lights go out for #TheDecider at 18.30 IST!
