Marquez takes the pole and the lap record in the final minutes of qualifying


Marc Marquez was qualifying for the MotoGP race at Circuit of the Americas a few days ago and by the end of the session he was running in seventh position.
He noticed the bike was developing an engine problem and subsequently parked it up against the pitwall (no really, he parked it, no crashing, we promise!).
He then jumped over the wall, sprinted to his backup bike in true Le Mans-style and flew that out of the pitlane completely unfazed with three minutes of qualifying left for him to do his out-lap and one timed lap, just enough time to make one last difference if all went well. And it did, he not only manages to grab the pole but also shatter the previous lap record also held by him and as you can see for yourself, this is unreal bike control. Entering corners under full braking with massive oversteer or the rear wheel just plain up in the air, damn this guy can ride! The videos at "Read More" show him parking the bike and the record setting lap.
