Quartararo takes third successive MotoGP pole
French rider Fabio Quartararo took his third successive pole after posting the fastest time in qualifying on his Yamaha for the British MotoGP on Saturday.
The 26-year-old 2021 world champion, who also set a new fastest lap for the Silverstone circuit, will start from the front row of the grid for both the sprint race later on Saturday and Sunday's Grand Prix.
"I am very happy," Quartararo told Canal+.
"We are still way off Ducati (in terms of performance), but little by little we are closing the gap.
"To perform well on one lap is one thing, to be consistent over 10 or 20, is another matter."
"If I could finish on the podium in the sprint I would take that!" added Quartararo, who will hope on Sunday it is third time lucky in terms of converting pole into a race victory.
Spain's Alex Marquez (Ducati-Gresini) and two-time world champion Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati) of Italy will be alongside him.
Marquez's older brother and championship leader Marc Marquez will be on the second row, having finished fourth fastest on his Ducati.
Marc Marquez, who has won three of the six races so far this season, has a 22-point lead over Alex Marquez, with Bagnaia 51 points off the pace.
