The stellar 2020 World Championship has come to an end and the riders with the most pole positions in each class this season were presented with the TISSOT Pole of Poles award at the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve. Awarded by the Official Timekeeper of MotoGP, TISSOT, the incredible limited edition 2020 prizes were handed to each winner by Dorna Sports CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta in a special ceremony on Saturday evening.

In MotoGP, the winner was Petronas Yamaha SRT’s Fabio Quartararo as the Frenchman took four pole positions in 2020 and was the man with both the most pole positions and best qualifying record overall in the premier class.

Sam Lowes

Sam Lowes (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) took the award in Moto2. The Brit took three pole positions in 2020. It wasn’t as easy as that after an incredibly tight year in the intermediate class. However, the ultimate winner was decided on front row starts as well. Joe Roberts (Tennor American Racing) also took an impressive three Moto2 pole positions this season.

Moto3 saw Raul Fernandez (Red Bull KTM Ajo) pick up the award after raking in an incredible total of six pole positions in 2020. That’s the most of any of the three Pole of Pole winners.
