Red Bull KTM Factory Racing: Jorge Martin (Prima Pramac Racing) destroyed the lap record at the Red Bull Ring, setting a magical time of 1:27.748 as he claimed the pole position for the Austrian Grand Prix, the 11th leg of the MotoGP 2024 Championship, here on Saturday.

Martin set a new benchmark, starting from P1 ahead of his title rival Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) at the Motorrad Grand Prix von Osterreich. The Italian will start from second after showing incredible pace early on in Q2 before he was pipped by Martin with a handful of minutes remaining.

The #1 was forced to abort his final flying lap but will start alongside Marc Marquez (Gresini Racing MotoGP™) on the front row. It was the first time this season that Martin, Bagnaia and Marquez qualified on the front row together.
