Barcelona: Francesco Bagnaia took his third successive pole position, his sixth of the season, as he booked his place on Saturday at the head of the grid for this weekend's Barcelona MotoGP.
The Italian, who goes into the final weekend of the season 24 points behind championship leader Jorge Martin, did all he could to lay the pressure on the Spaniard who will start on the second row in fourth.
"I'm very happy," said Ducati-Lenovo rider Bagnaia. "We managed to do a very good job. It wasn't easy because the conditions were very tricky and a bit risky but everything went well."
Bagnaia needs to win the sprint later on Saturday to have any realistic hopes in Sunday's grand prix of overhauling Martin and landing a third consecutive world title. Martin, meanwhile, can claim the title on Saturday if he brings his Ducati through to take the sprint.
"This afternoon will not be easy," said Bagnaia. "But we have to try to win and take it into tomorrow.
