Series leader Marc Marquez takes Aragon MotoGP pole
World championship leader Marc Marquez will start from pole in Sunday's Aragon MotoGP as he bids to return to winning form in his quest for a seventh world title.
The 32-year-old Spanish Ducati rider edged out his younger brother Alex Marquez (Ducati-Gresini) with Italy's Marco Morbidelli (Ducati-VR46) third fastest.
Marc Marquez will also start from pole for the sprint race later Saturday on a track where he has won the MotoGP six times in 10 appearances.
"It was not the best lap of my life," said Marc Marquez.
"I attacked quite a lot and the bike moved around quite a lot, but I am delighted to be starting in pole.
"My rivals are getting closer so the races will be interesting."
Marquez is seeking to end a three-race losing run, having got off to a blistering start with three wins in the first four MotoGPs.
Marc leads Alex by 24 points going into the sprint race, Marc's Ducati team-mate and two-time champion Francesco Bagnaia, who starts fourth on the grid, is third, 72 points adrift.
