MotoGP Americas: Marquez pole as Vinales, Rossi tangle
Marc Marquez has extended his pole position reign at the Circuit of the Americas to five in a row, after fending off the chওallenge of Maverick Vinales in Saturday's qualifying session.
World championship leader Vinale﷽s, unbeaten as a Yamaha rider, was left angry after a close moment with team-mate Valentino Rossi at Turn 19 but fought back to take pol🎃e from Marquez on his final lap.
But the Repsol Honda s♓tar responded to pull 0.130s clear and claim his first pole since Phillip Island in October. Rossi - just ahead on track - grabbed the final front row start, albeit 0.930s from Marquez.
ꦺThe Italian said he had not seen Vinales during the earlier inci🌄dent.
Marquez will now be aiming to replicate his qualifying success in Sunday's race, which he has won ever since the circuit joined the MotoGP calendar in 2013, and help kick-start his season.
Marquez is expected to face an intensive challenge froꦜm Vinales, while Rossi will be eager to exploit by far his best qualifying of the season. A podium finisher in each of the previous rounds, Rossi is 14 points behind Vinales. Both will be ꦆseeking Yamaha's 500cc grand prix win on Sunday.
