Catalunya GP: Qualifying Results MotoGP

Jorge Lorenzo has again been the fastest rider and secured his third consecutive pole position. Dani Pedrosa heads the second row in fourth position while Aleix Espargaro showed another strong qualifying and will start his home Grand Prix from the third row tomorrow.
Suzuki rider Alvaro Bautista is back in form and showed an excellent performance, going up to 4th position with less than 10 minutes of the session left, but was relegated to 10th place in the end, starting tomorrow’s race from fourth row.
Bautista is also the last rider to still lap within a second of pole sitter Lorenzo. Aspar Ducati man Barbera is a further 0.4s back and continued to struggle with this circuit. He will hope to find a few tenths in the warm up tomorrow.
