MotoGP Italy: Marc Marquez secures 100th Pole

Mugello: Marc Marquez secured an emphatic win for Ducati by securing the 100th pole position of his career at the iconic Mugello Circuit during Saturday’s Italian Grand Prix qualifying.

Marquez delivered a scintillating performance to claim his sixth MotoGP pole of the season, and his 72nd in the premier class. Add to that his 14 poles in Moto2 and 14 in the 125cc World Championship, and Marquez has now joined an exclusive club with a century of poles across all categories.

“I’m super happy because it was a real pole position,” a beaming Marquez said after the session. “It was without using any slipstreams — just me, the bike, and the limit. But we need to stay patient. In warmer afternoon conditions, everything can change.” IANS
