MotoGP start time: What time does the Catalunya Grand Prix start?

With Yamaha riders dominating qualifying once again, it was Morbidelli's turn to take pole position as he beat Petronas SRT team-mate Fabio Quartararo to a first pole position by two-tenths of a second.

Valentino Rossi completed the front row on the day he officially announced his move to SRT for 2021, in a deal which has dominated MotoGP headlines having been delayed in recent weeks.

Jack Miler has disrupted the Yamaha party at the front by taking fourth place for Pramac, pushing Emilia Romagna GP winner Maverick Vinales into fifth place, with Avintia Ducati's Johann Zarco rounding out the second row.

With KTM's Pol Espargaro seventh, Joan Mir's mixed fortunes in qualifying continued with the Suzuki rider only eighth.

While factory Ducati rider Danilo Petrucci claimed ninth place in qualifying, team-mate and current MotoGP championship leader Andrea Dovizioso's woes continued and he will start the Catalan GP down in 17th place after failing to progress through Q1.

When is the MotoGP Catalan Grand Prix?

• Date: Sunday 27th September 2020
• Start time: 3:00pm CET, 2:00pm BST

The start time for each of the races - Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP - is one hour later than the usual European schedule, to allow television broadcasters to avoid a clash between the Catalan MotoGP and Formula 1's Russian GP.

How can I watch the Catalan MotoGP?
