Balatonfokajar, Hungary: Spanish motorcycling legend Marc Marquez seeking a seventh successive sprint/race double secured pole position on Saturday for the Hungarian MotoGP.
The six-time world champion dominated once again on his Ducati to post the fastest time of 1min 36.518sec and will start from pole for the 74th time in the elite class.
The 32-year-old leads younger brother Alex by 142 points in the title race, but the latter made a mess of qualifying on his Ducati-Gresini.
He was 11th fastest, but will start from 14th spot on the grid after being punished for impeding his older brother's team-mate, two-time world champion Francesco Bagnaia in Friday's practice session.
Marc Marquez, who can extend his lead later on Saturday by winning the sprint, will be shadowed on the front row of the grid by Italian duo Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia) and Fabio Di Giannantonio (Ducati-VR46).
