Francesco Bagnaia rocketed to pole position for the French Grand Prix with a 1:29.634, his first pole since the Malaysian Grand Prix last year. Marc Marquez came through Q1 to qualify second, just 0.3 seconds off Bagnaia and over 0.4 seconds clear of the rider behind. Marco Bezzecchi completed the front row ahead of Di Giannantonio, Acosta and Quartararo on row two. Ducati locked out the top two. Aprilia holds the title. Sunday will be something else.
