A chance for Francesco Bagnaia to start alongside rival and teammate Marc Marquez, who clinched his 70th pole position, slipped away with a crash.
The Turin native, after aborting the second lap of the first run, returned to the track super-concentrated but could not avoid a crash as he tackled the second sector of the Lusail circuit.
As qualifying progressed so Bagnaia relegated to 11th position, which means fourth row.
Quite a problem for Pecco whose Qatar Grand Prix definitely starts uphill, and not only in the Sprint this evening, but also for tomorrow's GP since qualifying applies to both races.
