Apenas 18 pilotos vão alinhar no GP da Austrália de domingo, na última passagem da MotoGP por Phillip Island, fora de Melbourne.
Marc Marquez larga da pole pela Ducati, liderando o campeonato por 10 pontos depois de vencer a sprint de sábado. O piloto de 33 anos dominou uma classificação molhada, batendo o pelotão por quase 1,5s.
Ao lado dele está o irmão Alex Marquez, na Ducati da Gresini, com Johann Zarco completando a primeira fila pela LCR Honda, tendo passado pelo Q1.
Jack Miller faz a sua última largada em Phillip Island como piloto de MotoGP em quarto, com a Yamaha da Pramac usando uma pintura especial amarela e verde. Pedro Acosta é o quinto, na KTM de fábrica, à frente de Fabio di Giannantonio, que subiu ao pódio da sprint, em sexto.
O desafio da Aprilia é liderado por Marco Bezzecchi em sétimo, e a fabricante de Noale está reduzida a duas motos. Jorge Martin quebrou o braço na queda da sprint, enquanto Raul Fernandez, da Trackhouse, agravou uma lesão no dedo no treino de sexta-feira; os dois foram declarados inaptos, deixando Bezzecchi e Ai Ogura.
Ogura larga em décimo, com Diogo Moreira (Honda) e Enea Bastianini (Tech3 KTM) à frente dele.
Não haverá nenhuma Honda de fábrica. Joan Mir nem começou o fim de semana por causa de uma doença, e um vírus limitou o companheiro Luca Marini a duas voltas na sexta-feira; ele desistiu do restante do evento, sprint incluída, na manhã de sábado.
Duas outras inscrições em tempo integral estão ausentes: Fermin Aldeguer (Gresini) e Toprak Razgatlioglu (Pramac), lesionados em rodadas anteriores, com Iker Lecuona e Augusto Fernandez substituindo.
