Official Jerez MotoGP Records:
Best lap: Alex Marquez Ducati 1m 35.991s (2025)
Fastest race lap: Francesco Bagnaia Ducati 1m 37.449s (2024)
Marc Marquez’s perfect run of 2025 pole positions ends with a shock defeat at the hands of Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo in qualifying for the Spanish MotoGP at Jerez.
On pole by 0.229s during the mid-session tyre change, Marquez looked to have extended his pole streak to five in a row - until Quartararo burst to the top by 0.033s during a volley of late flying laps!
Francesco Bagnaia, riding with only one Ducati available after being among a handful of riders to suffer fast accidents in final practice, had been fifth quickest heading into the final run.
The Italian, winner of the Spanish MotoGP for the past three years, then rolled up his sleeves and briefly seized second place, behind Marquez - until Quartararo took his first pole since Mandalika in 2022!
Penalty for the Marquez brothers?
Bagnaia later revealed: "Let's see if something changes because both Alex and Marc started with red lights still on in the pit, so maybe I can jump a position."
TV replays confirmed the brothers crossed the end-of-pit lane exit line just before the green lights came on.
Penalty aside, Gresini's Alex Marquez should start just ahead of VR46's Franco Morbidelli and KTM's Maverick Vinales on row two of the grid.
Vinales and Marco Bezzecchi reached Qualifying 2 by claiming the final transfer places in Qualifying 1.
Alex Rins, who suffered two falls in final practice, including a very fast accident at Turn 4, returned for a single lap in qualifying.
The 12-lap Jerez Sprint race starts at 3pm local time.
Aleix Espargaro is making his Honda MotoGP debut as a wild-card this weekend, running prototype parts on his RC213V.
A triple MotoGP winner for Aprilia, Espargaro switched to HRC testing duties after retiring as a full-time rider at the end of last year.
Jorge Martin’s Qatar injuries mean test rider Lorenzo Savadori is again replacing the reigning world champion at Aprilia.
Yamaha test rider Augusto Fernandez is likewise standing in for the injured Miguel Oliveira at Pramac, for the third event in a row.
The first official in-season MotoGP test of the 2025 season takes place at Jerez on Monday.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
