MotoGP: Lorenzo and Dovizioso Deliver a Ducati 1-3 Front Row in Barcelona Qualifying

As it's expected of Marquez, the diminutive rider manhandled his Honda motorcycle like his life depended on it, oftentimes using his knees to keep himself upright on the corners. But at the end of the day, it was a stupefying six-hundredths of a second that separated him from Lorenzo. Behind him will be Lorenzo's teammate, Andrea Dovizioso, who will be ready to pounce and benefit from the slightest of clashes between Marquez and Lorenzo.

Further down the field, it was the Yamaha of Maverick Vinales that placed fourth and narrowly missed out on the front row, with Andrea Iannone in fifth place and soon to be factory Ducati rider Danilo Pettruci rounding up the top six for tomorrow's starting grid. Fan favorites Valentino Rossi and Johann Zarco experienced a less-than-favorable qualifying session and could only place their speed machines on seventh and eighth place respectively.
