It's true that I am quite quick, but the pace, seeing from the FP2 result, was pretty close between me and many other MotoGP riders, many other riders that are super quick. And as you know, in MotoGP, you can never relax. So, I'm happy for the qualifying for sure, because it's also the grid for tomorrow, not only today. And this is important, but now we still have to do the main part of the weekend, that are the races. So, yeah, let's keep ourselves focused and let's try to make our best.”     REPORTER SAYING: “Brilliant lap. Well done.”     “Thank you very much.” / BEZZECCHI WAVING TO CAMERA 5.

DUCATI LENOVO TEAM’S MARC MARQUEZ IN THE GARAGE REMOVING HELMET AND HAVING ENERGY BAR STORY: Aprilia Racing's Marco Bezzecchi seized a dominant pole position in qualifying for the Indonesian Grand Prix after demolishing the lap record at Mandalika on Saturday (October 4), while newly-crowned 2025 MotoGP champion Marc Marquez qualified a lowly ninth. Bezzecchi's blistering lap of one minute and 28.832 seconds was enough to comfortably finish ahead of Spanish duo Fermin Aldeguer, riding for Gresini Racing, and Raul Fernandez of Trackhouse, who will line up second and third, respectively. It's true that I am quite quick, but the pace… was pretty close between me and many other MotoGP riders, many other riders that are super quick. And as you know, in MotoGP, you can never relax," Bezzecchi said. The session also marked a significant milestone for Aldeguer, the 20-year-old rookie securing his first-ever front row start in MotoGP. Yamaha's Alex Rins and KTM's Pedro Acosta rounded up the top five. Meanwhile, two-times MotoGP champion Francesco Bagnaia struggled to maintain the momentum from his flawless Japanese Grand Prix weekend. The Ducati rider missed out on Q2 and will start a disappointing 16th on the grid for Saturday's sprint and Sunday's (October 5) race. (Production: Bhagya Ayyavoo)
