Yamaha’s independent rider Johann Zarco will launch from Pole for the Malasyan MotoGP race after Honda’s Marc Marquez received a penalty from the Stewards of 6 grid positions after impeding Andrea Iannone from Suzuki on the track.
So it’ll be an independent rider, Zarco from the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Team who will have the privilege of starting the race from the first spot of the grid, followed by Valentino Rossi from the official Yamaha Movistar Team and Iannone will ride the Suzuki Team bike from 3rd.
The second row will be filled with Ducati bikes with the official Team leading with Andre Dovizioso 4th, followed by Jack Miller and Danilo Petrucci.
The title race is over with Marquez claiming it last race at Valencia but the fight for second remains open.
