Despite a fall at turn three, Jorge Martin secured pole position at Le Mans thanks to a new all-time MotoGP lap record.
Francesco Bagnaia was also underneath the new lap record set by Enea Bastianini just moment prior in Q1, as he took P2 ahead of Maverick Vinales.
Their strongest weekend combined, both Pertamina Endure VR46 riders Fabio Di Giannantonio and Marco Bezzecchi produced late laps to secure a second row starting position.
His worst starting position since joining Ducati, Marc Marquez is all the way back on row five.
It wasn't much better for team-mate and brother Alex Marquez, who despite beinf very quick in FP2, could only manage P17.
