At the end of another stunning season despite the COVID-19 pandemic disrupting the order, the riders with the most pole positions in each class this season were presented with the coveted TISSOT Pole of Poles award at the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve.

With many riders surprising the stay at home crowds with their unlikely performances this year.

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 took home the Moto2 trophy with three poles.

It wasn’t as easy as that after an incredibly tight year in the intermediate class, however, and the ultimate winner was decided on front row starts as well – since Joe Roberts also took an impressive three Moto2 pole positions this season.

Moto3 saw Raul Fernandez of 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 and saw him start from the front for more than a third of the races this year.
