MotoGP Austin J3: what time are the races this Sunday? – Media Service

Francesco Bagnaia qualified in Austin on pole for the fourth time in MotoGP with Qatar, MotorLand and San Marino This year.

With this pole position, Bagnaia became the first Italian driver to win three pole positions in a row since Valentino Rossi in 2009 (from Sachsenring to Brno).

This Sunday, Bagnaia will try to become the second pilot Ducati to achieve three consecutive victories with Casey stoner who did it twice: once in 2007 and once in 2008. Moreover, it is only the third pole position for a driver Ducati in MotoGP on American soil with 2007 and 2008 with Casey stoner at Laguna Seca.

Fabio Quartararo qualified in second position and started from the front row for the 36th time for his 48th MotoGP race. In his 35 front row starts, he has finished on the podium 18 times, including seven of his eight premier class victories so far.
