    Moto GP : Dani Pedrosa snatches pole position and posts new lap record at Mugello





















    from Twowheelsblog
    It seemed that Jorge Lorenzo was on his way to take the pole position ahead of the Italian GP at the Mugello, but Dani Pedrosa pulled out a stunning last flying lap - after giving Andrea Dovizioso hell (the Ducati rider waited to use him as tow) - to pip and demote the Yamaha rider to second by just 0.069s and conquer his first pole position of the season and also break the 2012 circuit lap record which he also held.
    Andrea Dovizioso took his second front row start after Le Mans, qualifying third in Ducati’s home race despite his sore neck (Hector Barbera qualified in the same position at Mugello last season)and using Bradl as reference point he demoted Cal Cruthlow to fourth by a mere 0.004s. The Yamaha Tech3 rider crashed out at the Borgo San Lorenzo a little more than halfway through the 15 minute QP2, and then returned to track with his spare bike to score an impressive fourth spot.
    Taking off on the second row will be Stefan Bradl and Marc Marquez (who has a small fracture at the top of his humerus of his right shoulder) in his who had to take also take part in QP1 but he still managed to take sixth. Valentino Rossi once again will be taking off on the third row in seventh, unable to make the most of his last flying lap having trouble at the Correntaio and Biondetti. Ducati’s Nicky Hayden qualified 8th ahead of Alvaro Bautista, who was more than one second from Pedrosa’s pole position.
    Michele Pirro, Ducati’s test rider and wildcard, was 10th, while injured Bradley Smith made it out of QP1 to qualify 11th with his Yamaha M1 and ahead of CRT leader Aleix Espargaro. Andrea Iannone who is the sole Pramac rider after Ben Spies’ pullout was just 13th.
