Marco Bezzecchi secured pole position for the MotoGP Qatar Grand Prix on Saturday, edging out Marc Marquez in a closely contested qualifying session at the Lusail International Circuit.
The Italian rider set a blistering lap time to claim his first pole of the season, with six-time champion Marquez lining up second on the grid.
Qualifying took place on November 7, 2026, under floodlights at the desert venue. Bezzecchi's performance puts him in a strong position for Sunday's race, where he will aim to convert his pole into a victory.
