Brno MotoGP qualifying

16:02 Rossi will be a big threat tomorrow. He spent a lot of time on Friday running the medium tyre and was just 0.092s from pole. It was at Brno in 1996 he took his first grand prix win - will it be number 116 on Sunday?

15:58 Pretty heroic effort from Crutchlow to put his LCR Honda fifth on the grid despite riding in considerable discomfort with that suspected back injury.

15:53 It's pole number four this season for Marquez and the 69th of his career across all three classes.

15:52 Marquez, Rossi, Pedrosa, Dovizioso, Crutchlow, Lorenzo, Vinales, Petrucci, Bautista, Zarco, A.Espargaro and Baz are your top 12.

15:51 Pedrosa cannot deny his team-mate, Marc Marquez takes pole position in Brno.

15:51 Vinales crosses the line and goes seventh. He lost a lot of time that lap.

15:50 Chequered flag is out.

15:50 Marquez has backed off, but Vinales and Pedrosa are going quick.

15:49 Espargaro has crashed at Turn 13. He fell there in fourth practice.

15:49 Marquez fastest with a 1m54.981s. Rossi goes second.

15:49 Crutchlow shuffles the Ducati rider back to row two, though. The Briton goes third.

15:48 Lorenzo third. Let's hope that was a legal lap.

15:47 TV replay shows Lorenzo just extended track limits exiting the final corner. He is lighting up the timing screens now.

15:45 With Lorenzo's time scrubbed, Crutchlow has been promoted to a provisional third.

15:44

15:44 Lorenzo has had his lap cancelled. He is now 12th with no time on the board.

15:43 Half of the session has gone and Pedrosa is still fastest from Marquez and Lorenzo. Crutchlow, Rossi, Petrucci, Vinales, Dovizioso, A.Espargaro, Zarco, Bautista and Baz complete the top 12.

15:42 Vinales crosses the line seventh, 0.833s off the pace.

15:41 Marquez brushes it off, though, to go second quickest with a 1m55.339s.

15:41 Another huge moment for Marquez coming up the hill at Turn 11.

15:40 Lorenzo up to second, Cruthclow - injury or not - is third.

15:40 Pedrosa is the early pacesetter with a 1m55.313s.

15:38 Marquez pushing the limits already. He had a slight moment at Turn 3 and has backed off.

15:37 After his crash this morning, Cal Crutchlow may well have injured his back. He will contest this session, however.

15:35 Q2 is underway.

15:35 The pole record at Brno is a 1m54.596s from last season, which was set by Marquez. His best in third practice was a 1m55.370s.

15:32 Decent recovery job from Miller in 15th. He has struggled to get to grips with MotoGP machinery again after his time in Japan racing the Honda Fireblade in the Suzuka 8 Hours during the summer break.

15:31 While missing a Q2 place by 0.006s will sting, Rins can be hugely proud of 13th - his best grid slot in MotoGP. He also outqualifies team-mate Iannone for the first time.

15:29 Scott Redding's nightmare run continues. The Pramac rider will start last for the second race in a row.

15:28 13th back looks like this:
Rins, Folger, Miller, Barbera, Abraham, P.Espargaro, Smith, Iannone, Rabat, Lowes, Redding.

15:27 Petrucci fired in a 1m56.220 right at the death. Suzuki's Rins missed a Q2 spot by just 0.006 seconds.

15:27 Petrucci and Bautista are your Q2 men.

15:26 Iannone had a technical issue earlier and has not made it back out.

15:25 Chequered flag is out. More improvements coming in.

15:25 Bautista has gone top from Rins. Miller jumps up from 10th to third.

15:24 Pol Espargaro has crashed.

15:24 Lots of quick sector times coming in from numerous people now. This is will chop and change with just one minute to go.

15:23 Bautista and Barbera fastest through the first sector.

15:21 The Brno circuit is a hive of activity again as everyone except Iannone heads back out.

15:20 This is how it stands with five minutes to go:
Folger, Petrucci, Bautista, Abraham, Rins, Espargaro, Smith, Iannone, Rabat, Miller, Lowes, Redding, Barbera.
Best lap - 1m56.540s
