Jerez MotoGP qualifying

16:02 And that'll be a wrap for us from MotoGP qualifying at Jerez.

It's promising a very good race for tomorrow. Honda looks strong, Marquez's subdued showing aside, but FP4 suggests Suzuki is a major threat on race pace. And could Dovizioso, perhaps, be a factor?

Check back tomorrow to find out.

15:58

15:57 For Zarco, it's his eighth consecutive front row start, dating back to his Motegi pole last year. Absolutely unreal.

15:56 This is Cal Crutchlow's fourth MotoGP pole, his first since 2016. If he's gunning for that works Honda ride alongside Marquez, that was as good an audition as any.

15:54 That was a bit emphatic by Crutchlow. He's further ahead of second-placed Pedrosa than Pedrosa is of Petrucci in ninth.

15:54 Q2 results: 1 Crutchlow; 2 Pedrosa; 3 Zarco; 4 Lorenzo; 5 Marquez; 6 Rins; 7 Iannone; 8 Dovizioso; 9 Petrucci; 10 Rossi; 11 Vinales; 12 Miller.

15:53 Big, big effort by Alex Rins to pip Suzuki teammate Andrea Iannone to sixth, a second-row spot, by just 0.003s, considering he's not looked as strong as the Italian all weekend.

15:52 It's a Crutchlow - Pedrosa - Zarco front row. Lorenzo is fourth, Marquez only fifth.

15:51 Marquez has rolled out of the lap, nobody else is improving. Cal Crutchlow will start the 2018 Spanish Grand Prix from pole position. How about that?

15:50 Cal Crutchlow finds some more time at the death, for a 1m37.653s. Monumental.

15:50 Marquez still can't improve! He's got another chance at this, as the chequered flag waves.

15:49 Johann Zarco goes P3, where did that come from?!

15:49 A minute left on the clock, a fair few riders will be on their final laps already.

15:48 Marquez is pushing for pole, but it's not good enough as it stands - his most recent lap was still not quite as good as that initial 1m37.977s.

15:47 Dani Pedrosa up to P2, 0.16s behind Crutchlow. It's a Honda 1-2-3 as it stands.

15:46 Andrea Dovizioso is up on the pole time after the two first sectors, but the full lap ends up only good enough for fifth. Four minutes left.

15:45 Lorenzo's finding some speed, too. He goes to P4, 0.019s off Marquez and 0.009s off Iannone.

15:44 Crutchlow, who has been into the pits for a quick bike change, is pushing something fierce, and it takes him to first place. 1m37.752s. That's a new pole record as it stands.

15:43 Eight tenths currently separate P1 and P11. Only Rossi is somewhat adrift, 1.1s off and as much as six tenths behind his Yamaha factory teammate Maverick Vinales.

15:42 Current order: 1 Marquez; 2 Iannone; 3 Pedrosa; 4 Rins; 5 Crutchlow; 6 Lorenzo; 7 Vinales; 8 Dovizioso; 9 Zarco; 10 Miller; 11 Petrucci; 12 Rossi.

15:41 Marquez's follow-up lap is half a tenth slower than his current pole benchmark. Iannone's is three tenths slower.

15:40 Rins up to third place on his hard front and medium rear, that's not bad at all.

15:39 And there's Marquez, going just 0.01s quicker than Iannone! This should be good.

15:39 Andrea Iannone goes top with his first effort, a 1m.37.987s. Crutchlow second, Lorenzo third, but we're waiting on Marquez.

15:37 Lorenzo, Petrucci, Rins, Dovizioso and Vinales opting for medium rears instead of softs on this first run.

15:35 Q2 is now live - 15 minutes to decide the poleman.

15:34 Marquez is probably just about favourite over one lap, but both Crutchlow and Iannone have looked out of reach at different points in the weekend. This should be mega.

15:32

15:31 Q2 line-up: Marquez; Crutchlow, Iannone; Zarco; Lorenzo; Miller; Rossi; Pedrosa; Petrucci; Rins; Dovizioso; Vinales.

15:28

15:28 Q2 results: 1 Dovizioso; 2 Vinales; 3 A Espargaro; 4 Nakagami; 5 Morbidelli; 6 P Espargaro; 7 Rabat; 8 Luthi; 9 Kallio; 10 Bautista; 11 Smith; 12 Syahrin; 13 Abraham; 14 Simeon; 15 Redding.

15:27 Aleix raises his arms in the air and then slumps on his bike. Vinales can count his lucky stars there.

15:26 That'll be Aleix Espargaro, and he improves! But it's not enough, he comes up 0.04s short of Vinales.

15:25 There's one more lap in this for many riders, but most seem to have backed off already - or have they? Espargaro with a purple sector three!

15:25 Nakagami is joining the fight for the second Q2 transfer spot, moving up to fourth, a tenth and a half off Vinales. Chequered flag.

15:23 Aleix Espargaro now has a soft rear on, and he goes up to third, a tenth off Vinales. You'd imagine it's between the two of them for the final Q2 spot - Dovizioso has already retreated into the pits and looks confident of advancing.

15:23 Rabat down at Turn 1!

15:22 Vinales up to second, three tenths slower than Dovizioso.

15:21 Dovizioso has been to the pits and is now back out and pushing. He finds just over three tenths for a 1m38.074s. Four minutes to go.

15:19 Current order: 1 Dovizioso; 2 Rabat; 3 Vinales; 4 Morbidelli; 5 A Espargaro; 6 Nakagami; 7 Bautista; 8 P Espargaro; 9 Luthi; 10 Kallio; 11 Smith; 12 Abraham; 13 Syahrin; 14 Redding; 15 Simeon.
