MotoGP 2025: Bezzecchi Takes First Pole Since 2023 As Marquez Crashes Out In Austria
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing: Marco Bezzecchi of Aprilia Racing went from Q1 to pole position in qualifying at the Grand Prix of Austria, taking his first pole with Aprilia and first since the 2023 Indian Grand Prix, here on Saturday.
Tucked in behind compatriot Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team), the #72 rider just pipped the #63 by a tenth and a half. Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) struck later to split the two and take second, with Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) sidelined from the final push for pole by a late crash.
With just over a couple of minutes left on the clock in Q1, it looked like Aprilia Racing’s Marco Bezzecchi and reigning Champion Jorge Martin would be the duo heading through, in that order, after a couple of moments in Friday Practice kept the two from automatic places in Q2. Enter Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech3).
