Marc Marquez was visibly furious in Q2 at COTA after being blocked by Luca Marini and championship leader Marco Bezzecchi on his final flying lap, leaving the seven time COTA winner sixth on the grid. Bagnaia suffered a similar fate, catching Ai Ogura on his final run and dropping to eighth. Marquez starts 22 points behind Bezzecchi. He needed pole. He got traffic instead.
