tirto.id - Jorge Lorenzo (Ducati) berhasil mencatatkan start terdepan dalam kualifikasi Grand Prix San Marino dalam seri ke-13 MotoGP musim ini pada Sabtu (8/9/2018). Sementara itu, Francesco Bagnaia (Sky Racing Team VR46) dan Jorge Martin (Del Conca Gresini Moto3) juga meraih pole position, masing-masing untuk kelas Moto2 dan Moto3.
Memiliki catatan waktu 1 menit 31,629 detik di Sirkuit Misano, Jorge Lorenzo meraih pole position ketiganya musim ini. Namun, yang mengejutkan bukanlah keberhasilan Lorenzo di musim terakhirnya bersama Ducati. Melainkan, posisi kedua kualifikasi yang ditempati oleh Jack Miller (Pramac Racing) dengan perbedaan 0,287 detik dari X-Fuera.
Sementara itu, di kualifikasi Moto2 Grand Prix San Marino, Francesco Bagnaia (Sky Racing Team VR46) kembali meraih start paling depan. Ia meraih waktu tercepat 1 menit 37,121 detik atau berbeda 0,210 detik dari pesaing terdekat Marcel Schrotter (Dynavolt Intact GP).
Bagi Bagnaia ini adalah pole position ketiga beruntun sejak GP Austria. Total, musim ini, pebalap Italia itu sudah mencatatkan lima kali start terdepan. Peluangnya untuk mempertahankan posisi puncak klasemen Moto2 cukup terbuka, karena saat ini Bagnaia hanya berjarak tiga poin dari Miguel Oliviera (Red Bull KTM Ajo).
Di kelas Moto3, Jorge Martin (Del Conca Gresini Moto3) berhasil mencatatkan pole position kedua secara beruntun setelah melakukannya di Grand Prix Inggris dua minggu lalu. Kali ini di Sirkuit Misano, Martin memiliki catatan waktu 1 menit 41,823 detik. Ia unggul 0,331 detik dari Gabriel Rodrigo (RBA BOE Skull Rider).
Keberhasilan Jorge Martin meraih pole ini adalah yang kedelapan kalinya sepanjang musim. Hal tersebut bakal membuka peluang sang pebalap Spanyol untuk menjuarai lomba pada Minggu (9/9/2018) esok hari sekaligus mengejar ketertinggalannya di klasemen sementara. Martin saat ini ada di urutan kedua, tertinggal 12 angka dari Marco Bezzecchi (Redox PruestelGP KTM).
