Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) is on pole position for the fifth time in succession after bagging a new Portimao all-time lap record in Q2. With Bagnaia and Miller, this is the sixth Ducati 1-2 in qualifying so far this year and the second in back-to-back races along with Aragon and San Marino. This is Mir’s best qualifying in the premier class and the first time he has qualified in the top three in MotoGP™. Pol Espargaro (Repsol Honda Team) has qualified sixth as the top Honda rider. He will be aiming to stand on the podium for the first time in back-to-back races since last year in the European and Valencia GPs.
