• Jorge Lorenzo starts from pole for the seventh time this year. Lorenzo has finished second on the last five occasions he has started from pole; the only race he has won from pole in 2012 was at the opening race of the year in Qatar. Lorenzo will be looking to win for the first time in the MotoGP class at Sepang.
• Dani Pedrosa is on the front row for the tenth successive race. Pedrosa will be hoping to win three successive races for the first time since moving up to the MotoGP class. The only other time Pedrosa has won three successive GP races was in the 250cc class in 2005.
• Andrea Dovizioso starts from the front row for just the third time this year. He has finished in the top four at the last nine successive races.
• Casey Stoner, who heads the second row of the grid, is going for his 38th MotoGP victory which would take him into fourth place in the all-time premier-class GP wins table, above Mike Hailwood.
• Cal Crutchlow has qualified in fifth place on the grid – the first time he has not been on the front row since the Indianapolis Grand Prix.
• Ben Spies is in the final place on the second row of the grid. Spies will be aiming to finish in the top four for the first time since the German Grand Prix.
• The highest placed Ducati rider in qualifying is Hector Barbera, who heads the third row - which is his best qualifying result since he was third on the grid at Mugello.
• Stefan Bradl has qualified in eighth place on the grid. Bradl has already had seven top-six finishes in his debut year in the MotoGP class.
• A six-time winner in Sepang, Valentino Rossi is in 11th place on the grid, which is the fourth time this year he has qualified outside the top ten.
• The top CRT rider in qualifying for the seventh time this year is Aleix Espargaro, in 12th place on the grid.
