ÁLEX MÁRQUEZ ON THE THIRD ROW IN PORTIMAO6 November 2021 | Algarve GP Qualifying Álex Márquez impressed again on day two at Portimao and will start Sunday’s Algarve Grand Prix from the third row of the grid. The LCR Honda CASTROL rider was the leading Honda in both of Saturday’s free practice sessions and then claimed eighth spot in Q2 – the best qualifying result of his MotoGP career.
After finishing 7th fastest on Friday, the Spaniard underlined his speed in a tight FP3 as he took a superb 5th position to move through to Q2 with something to spare. He showed good race pace in FP4 as he placed seventh and subsequently ended just behind newly-crowned world champion Fabio Quartararo in a hard-fought qualifying shootout. Álex Márquez – 8th (1’39.191 )“It was a second good day, we kept up the aggression and I’m really happy with the work we’re doing here. We’re always improving and that’s the important thing, not just the qualifying result which was the best of my career in MotoGP as I always struggle in qualy! My rhythm was really good and I felt good with the pace. We have to be realistic, we don’t have the pace to win, but we have the pace to do something interesting. I’ll look to make a good start, try and few things in the warm-up and be ready for the race. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow and will try to enjoy the race.”
