There’s an early start for MotoGP fans this morning with all the live action from Japan starting at 6am.
It’s set to be a classic race after qualifying saw Italian Andrea Dovizioso pile the pressure on championship leader Marc Marquez by taking pole position.
Meanwhile, Marquez will start in sixth.
The Spaniard can take a fifth MotoGP title with a win today but Dovizioso, his closest rival in the championship race, showed he was not willing to give up without a fight as he set the fastest qualifying time of 1:44:590 seconds.
Marquez, 25, who crashed during practice earlier in the day, was 0.299 seconds off the pace and faces a steep task if he was to seal a third consecutive MotoGP crown in Japan on Sunday.

“Our bike works well on this track,” Dovizioso told reporters. “It is a good track for my style. The mix is very good. We knew that coming here and then we did what we expected.
“Marc has a very good pace for the race so it is going to be a hard battle.”
