Spain's Marc Marquez has taken his sixth successive German Moto GP pole at the Sachsenring.
The Repsol Honda rider has won this race for the past five years and once again showed that this circuit is very much to his liking.
"We will try for six wins, the most important thing is the confidence with the bike is really high," Marquez told motogp.com.
"In this circuit I always get good results but this weekend I feel good and I'm constant.
"I was also fast over one lap so I'm happy, also happy with the work that we have done. Tomorrow is the most important so we have to keep on like this."
Marquez's team-mate Dani Pedrosa, who achieved his best qualifying result of the season, and Jorge Lorenzo (Movistar Yamaha) will join the Spaniard on the front row.
"I was happy with my first feeling in the first run but (Cal) Crutchlow didn't see me and ruined my lap," Pedrosa said.
"Unfortunately I had to stop and change tyres and I wasn't sure if we could do it on the second tyre because sometimes you don't get the same feeling.
"Actually I produced a good lap and to get the front row at this track is very important."
Andrea Iannone (Ducati Team) will start from fourth place with Yonny Hernandez (Octo Pramac Racing) and Valentino Rossi (Movistar Yamaha) joining him on the second row in fifth and sixth respectively.
