In other words, he took his first-ever pole position in the premier class after putting together a near perfect lap \u2013 which was good enough to edge the factory Ducati duo of Pecco Bagnaia and Jack Miller.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new outright record lap of the track (1\u201928.772) will allow \u2018Bestia\u2019 to line up at the very front of the grid, with the explicit goal to score his fourth race win of the season. With today\u2019s result, Bastianini\u2019s pole position tally reaches number 10 (seven of which under the Team Gresini banner).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was a very positive day also for Fabio Di Giannantonio, who made it into Q2 at the very last moment (and tackled his fifth Qualifying 2 session of the season) before securing a more than respectable top ten result on a track he seems to enjoy a bit more aboard Ducati machinery \u2013 as opposed to when he raced in the lower classes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>POLE POSITION \u2013 ENEA BASTIANINI #23 (1\u201928.772)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt surely was an incredible day. I did a great lap, not a perfect one, but it was enough for pole position. I had missed this feeling for a few years and it\u2019s great to be back in this situation. I\u2019m beginning to perform at my best also on Saturday, even though I\u2019m still more of a race animal. We\u2019re working the same way we did at the beginning of the year; the atmosphere in the team is great and that surely helps. We will start ahead of everyone else tomorrow and we will aim at the top.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>10<sup>th<\/sup> &#8211; FABIO DI GIANNANTONIO #49 (1\u201929.336)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt wasn\u2019t easy, because we encountered a lot of traffic in Q1, but in the end we made it through with also a bit of luck. We needed it, and to be starting in the top ten tomorrow is surely a confidence boost. We\u2019re working well and we improved compared to yesterday so I don\u2019t see the reason why we cannot continue this way and make another step tomorrow, too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#AustrianGP qualifying. 1525 days later, Enea Bastianini is back on top on a Saturday, albeit this time in the MotoGP class.
