And he's not complaining either

. I think it's likely to see both brothers on the podium again. Not so sure about Pecco, but there's a chance for a Thailand repeat. Some of the other factory riders are looking stronger than I expected, which is nice to see.

Shizen hausen timing for us in Australia. Will watch quali and the sprint tomorrow morning

Sweet Jesus, Marc's first flying lap in Q2 is the new record. Zarco's time also would have been a new record if not for Marc. Zarco is on it this weekend. I hope he's on the front row when it's over.

MichaelBolton · 2025-03-15T07:33:49-0700

Q2 over, Marc with the only sub 37. He made it look easy. And he's making everyone else look ordinary, with some exceptions. Zarco and Quartararo had great showings.

JFM01 · 2025-03-15T07:33:53-0700

Zarco front row!!!

There's no denying Honda has turned things around. Love to see it.

JPSLotus · 2025-03-15T07:34:05-0700

Marc broke the 1:37 barrier.

Absolutely insane.

Well he's going to be the favorite for the rest of the weekend.

Imagine if he'd have had the GP24 last season?

Mir making Q2 was great as well but he only had one tyre left.

I'll be bold and predict another Marquez double....

I think Marc is a perfect match for what is the best bike that’s been in MotoGP. I reckon he will go on to win the next few seasons. At least up until the new bikes and tyres.

Zarco is doing a top job for Honda.

JPSLotus · 2025-03-15T07:38:29-0700

I also am thinking this is how Marc is going to break Pecco. Just straight up performance that Pecco only touches once in awhile the way Dani Pedrosa did in his day.

That Castrol livery needs to be on the front row.

Did anyone see that close-up shot of Bagnaia? He looks like a defeated man already.

Tbh, aside from Marc being a better rider I also think he has psychology on his side. If Marc manages to build a sizeable gap in the standings there is a good chance Frantisek will start making mistakes again.

MichaelBolton · 2025-03-15T07:44:32-0700

Gap from P1 to P2 is 0.246 seconds.

Gap from P2 to P9 is 0.251 seconds.

Ominous.

I'd also argue Pecco's association with Valentino could be a big motivating factor for MM.

Guys like him use anything to motivate at this level.

Plus the bromance between Gigi and Marc must be killing him.

What a privilege to be watching Marc ride Live!! Nice qualifying ... and Pecco seems very worried indeed.

JFM01 · 2025-03-15T07:45:53-0700

Idk if it's the red suit or the fact he has a bike he loves to ride once again, but can we all acknowledge that Marc looks about 5 years younger than in 2023?

Yes... Only he knows the performances he has been putting in and likely is beginning to realise that with Marc on the other bike, barring injury, he will not be winning another championship.

MM looks better than he did at any point post-Jerez 2020.

His training regimen is batshit. I don't think anyone else on the grid is in as good of a shape as he is.
