After yet another mystical display from Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) in qualifying at the Monster Energy Grand Prix České republiky, the seven-time World Champion draws level with five-time World Champion Mick Doohan on 58 premier class pole positions.
Doohan’s total is the premier class record and on just his 118th start in MotoGP™, Marquez has managed to tie with the Australian. In addition, the latter holds a remarkable premier class pole percentage tally of 49.1%, while his 86 Grand Prix poles percentage sits at 43.8% - two incredible numbers from a rider who continues to defy the odds. And that wasn't the first time Marquez has treated us on a Saturday afternoon...
So can Marquez convert pole into victory on Sunday at the Czech GP? Sun is predicted for tomorrow so you can expect the Repsol Honda man to have a fight on his hands, and you can watch the race live at 14:00 local time (GMT+2).
