2020 Spanish MotoGP, Round 1, Jerez - Full Race Results

Fabio Quartararo takes his first-ever MotoGP victory in the season-opening 2020 Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez.

The Frenchman grabbed the lead when Marc Marquez ran off track early in the race, after a huge save, rejoining back in 18th.

The reigning world champion then fought his way through to third before suffering a huge highside, and being hit by his bike, and was taken on a stretcher to the medical centre wearing a neck brace and holding his right arm.

2020 Spanish MotoGP, Round 1, Jerez - Full Race Results

Fabio Quartararo takes his first-ever MotoGP victory in the season-opening 2020 Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez.

The Frenchman grabbed the lead when Marc Marquez ran off track early in the race, after a huge save, rejoining back in 18th.

The reigning world champion then fought his way through to third before suffering a huge highside, and being hit by his bike, and was taken on a stretcher to the medical centre wearing a neck brace and holding his right arm.

Vinales - who joined only team-mate Rossi (technical DNF) in selecting the soft front tyre - had been on the verge of losing second to Marquez, but instead finished runner-up to Quartararo with Dovizioso snatching third from the fellow Ducati of Miller.

Two riders were declared unfit to take part in today's race.

Alex Rins suffered a fracture and dislocation of his shoulder in yesterday's qualifying session, with Cal Crutchlow then ruled out due to a concussion and neck trauma after a heavy fall in morning warm-up.

Both, like Marc Marquez, now have just five days to pass a medical if they are to ride in next weekend's second Jerez event.
