2025 Spanish MotoGP: Sprint As It Happened

That puts him almost a second clear of the field and, probably understandably, he's sat up after that.

Well that is a ballistic opener from Marc Marquez, a 1:35.643 has obliterated the lap record his brother set yesterday.

We have a green light at the end of pit lane and Q2 is underway in Jerez.

Just gearing up for Q2 now and one of the key aspects here will be that Pecco Bagnaia will have only one bike available after his crash in FP2. The same will likely be true of Franco Morbidelli after his turn four crash.

Rins was able to get out for one lap in that session, a 1:38.977 means he'll start last tomorrow.

One final improvement from Aleix Espargaro gets him up into ninth.

But it's Vinales and Bezzecchi who'll move through to Q2, which will be coming up at 11:20 local time, so in around eight minutes.

Marini up to sixth with his final lap of the session, but it looks like Vinales and Bezzecchi are both safely through to Q2.

Vinales improves to a 1:36.284 on what could be his final lap. Increases his advantage to 0.167s over Bezzecchi.

Bezzecchi improves in second place, stays put but down to a 1:36.451 now.

Ogura up to P4 with his latest lap, and Binder moves up to third.

Savadori has crashed at turn nine. Just locked the front in straight line braking, but looks okay.

Espargaro goes eighth with his first lap of the session.

second runs beginning now with just under 7 minutes to go in Q1.

Alex Rins has gone to the medical centre for a precautionary check.

Vinales improves again to a 36.310, he's now 0.249s clear of Bezzecchi.

Meanwhile, Espargaro has finally got out on track on the Honda.

Bezzecchi now up to second, bumping Miller out of the top-2.

First laps are in now and it's Jack Miller who sets the early pace ahead of Brad Binder.

Here comes Vinales, though, who goes top by just over a tenth from Miller - the Australian has 0.3s back to Binder.

Seems like some issues for Aleix Espargaro who is not out yet in this session.

We also have Augusto Fernandez, Raul Fernandez, Ai Ogura, Luca Marini, Enea Bastiainini, Lorenzo Savadori, Brad Binder, Somkiat Chantra, Aleix Espargaro, Alex Rins, and Marco Bezzecchi going out in this Q1 session, which has just got underway.

Just a few minutes away from Q1 now, and given their performance in FP2 just now surely Vinales and Miller are the favourites to move through to Q2.

Quartararo improves to a 1:36.978 on his final lap, he ends the session third behind Marquez and Vinales.

Bagnaia third, and Miller makes it two Yamahas in the top-five.

Marquez ends the session with a 36.925.

Vinales up to second with his latest lap, a 1:36.887. He'll be going through Q1 in a few minutes but he clearly has decent pace. It's a fresh soft rear for Vinales on this run, and that's the 4th lap he's done on it.

Marc Marquez back to the top on a 1:36.923. He's put a slightly fresher soft rear in for the final 10 minutes; it had 4 laps at the start of this run, now on its ninth lap - a lap which sees Marquez set a very strong 1:36.677.

Piero Taramasso telling MotoGP pit lane reporter Jack Appleyard that the crashes we've seen this morning are about riders pushing more than temperature.
