Spanish Red Bull Ajo Motorsport rider Marc Marquez continued his superb qualifying form today in the qualifying for tomorrow’s Malaysian Grand Prix at the Sepang circuit. At the end of today’s exciting qualifying session Marquez took his 10th pole position of the season. The young Spaniard has now achieved most pole positions in one season by any rider during the history of the 125cc class. Avant Mitsubishi Ajo rider Sandro Cortese was also in top form today, clocking a 6th fastest time in the session and setting himself to a second row start for tomorrow’s 14th 125cc Grand Prix of the season.

MARC MARQUEZ, RED BULL AJO MOTORSPORT:
“Of course pole position is a good way to start the race tomorrow, but at this circuit it will be really difficult for anyone to break away. We’ve worked hard with the team and we have good set-up for the race. We were working towards the race even today, because we expect it to be tight and demanding as well.”

SANDRO CORTESE, AVANT MITSUBISHI AJO:
“We tested a harder front tyre today, but eventually it didn’t work out as good as we would have liked. I’m really confident with the other front though, so we are already looking forward to the race tomorrow.”

TEAM MANAGER AKI AJO:
”The conditions here have been really hot and demanding. The track is very demanding for the set-up and for the rider. There are places where you really need to have trust in your bike to go really fast. I think the race tomorrow will be demanding, and here it is always really difficult for anyone to break away, so we need to be ready for anything for the final laps of the race.”
