2021 Spanish MotoGP, Jerez - Full Qualifying Results
MotoGP world championship leader Quartararo takes pole position for the Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez.
The Frenchman will be joined on Sunday's front row by fellow Yamaha rider Morbidelli, who came through Qualifying 1, and Ducati's Miller.
Marquez, sidelined for nine months after complications to a broken right arm at Jerez last July, was back on track this afternoon after a massive accident at Turn 7 this morning but - like team-mate Espargaro, who also fell at Turn 7 in FP4 - couldn't advance beyond Qualifying 1.
Injured rookie Jorge Martin is being replaced at Pramac by Rabat, while Bradl is making his first wild-card of the season after racing as a replacement for Marc Marquez in Qatar.
