Jack Miller must recover from his worst qualifying result of the season so far. Welcome to FOX SPORTS’ live coverage of the MotoGP of Spain from Jerez. Australian star Jack Miller crossed the chequered flag in sixth place last year but has it all to do if he is to claim a similar result after struggling to P15 in qualifying on Saturday night - his worst return since Austria last year, when he started 17th. It is rookie Fabio Quartararo who will start on pole for the first time in his career on Sunday night, setting an all-time fastest lap around the Jerez circuit in the process. He also usurps Marc Marquez as the youngest polesitter in the premier class ever at 20 years and 14 days old - beating the Spaniard’s record by 48 days. He also has the opportunity to become the youngest-ever race-winner too. Live stream 2019 Spanish MotoGP on KAYO SPORTS. Every practice, qualifying & race live & anytime in HD.

"For me the team is unbelievable, it is a brand new team but I think the people inside have a lot of experience. "I want to thank them because last year was tough in the beginning and they believed in me for MotoGP. The feeling is incredible for them and for me." Home favourite Marc Marquez starts on the front row in P3, just ahead of championship leader Andrea Dovizioso. ﻿Sunday’s MotoGP schedule: 22.00: 2019 Spanish MotoGP Watch all of the action live on Fox Sports 506 or alternatively follow all of the action below with our live blog. ﻿If the you cannot see the blog below, please click here.<doc-sep>Like FP1, the afternoon session was controlled for the majority by Marc Marquez, whose 1m38.154s kept him on top for most of the 45-minute running. It was Marquez who improved first as the final fast laps started, but he was only faster by seven thousandths of a second and Cal Crutchlow soon demoted him. The Briton was then beaten by Petrucci, who set a time of 1m37.909s with just three minutes on the clock and shortly before the session was red-flagged. The stoppage was caused by Karel Abraham and Bradley Smith crashing at Turn 5 in quick succession with the former's Avintia Ducati bike and lots of debris left on track. The break lasted only a few minutes and the field had time for one more fast lap, but the majority of the top riders couldn't improve, and Petrucci ended up topping the session. Dovizioso was second as he beat Crutchlow by 0.001s with Marquez taking fourth. The Yamahas of Maverick Vinales and Fabio Quartararo improved after the red flag to secure fifth and sixth respectively followed by three more Hondas: wildcard Stefan Bradl, LCR's Takaaki Nakagami and Jorge Lorenzo. The same nine riders are currently in the top 10 of the overall classification as well, with the final Q2 spot currently belonging to Jack Miller - who was 11th-fastest in FP2, narrowly beaten by Pramac Ducati teammate Francesco Bagnaia. Pol Espargaro was the top KTM in 12th as his teammate Johann Zarco suffered his second crash of the day at Turn 2. Tech 3 rider Hafizh Syahrin also fell and completed just three laps in the session. Joan Mir also crashed and was only 17th but still close to teammate Alex Rins, who took 16th as neither Suzuki finished in the overall top 10. After taking 16th in FP1, Valentino Rossi continued to struggle as he only took 14th in FP2. FP2 results<doc-sep>Valentino Rossi has paid credit to Fabio Quartararo on his historic MotoGP pole position as the Petronas Yamaha squad swept to a qualifying 1-2 with Franco Morbidelli and feels “they are faster than me, they rider in a better way” at Jerez. Quartararo has become the youngest-ever pole-sitter in MotoGP after bolting to the Spanish GP pole on the satellite Yamaha run by the new-look Sepang Racing Team who went on to enjoy the perfect qualifying with Morbidelli slotting into second place. With the Petronas Yamaha riders taking the top two spots and out-qualifying the factory Yamaha pair of Rossi (13th) and Maverick Vinales (fifth), Rossi says the overall result came as a surprise but not the speed of both riders at the Spanish track. “I am surprised like everybody that they are one and two, but not surprised about the level of Franco who I know very well, and also Quartararo because from the winter test they were fast on the bike and they liked the bike,” Rossi said. “Here in Jerez they were strong in all practices and today they took the masterpiece as they are first and second so congratulations to them. “Maybe they are better than me, they are faster than me, they ride in a better way, they like more Jerez in the last few years. “For me Jerez has been difficult but it will be important to work tonight as I am not very strong in some areas but if we work well and can improve a little bit my pace is not so bad and I am not so far from them.” Rossi has dismissed the idea of Quartararo having a better package despite being on the older specification Yamaha, which became a frequent theme last year when Johann Zarco would often out-qualify the factory Yamahas when competing for Tech 3. Instead, Rossi puts the pace deficit over a single lap down to the riders and in particular Quartararo’s own ability at Jerez despite it being the rookie’s fourth premier class outing. “From what I know the bike of Quartararo is very similar and it is not like Zarco [in 2018],” he explained. “The four bikes are all very similar. I know that Franco is a little bit more factory with more parts but in the end for Quartararo the chassis is the same. “He rides very well and is able to enter the corner very naturally. In that area I don’t feel very comfortable, I improved on yesterday but I am not fantastic, so we need to work on us.”<doc-sep>Marquez wins the Spanish MotoGP at Jerez to retake the title lead by a single point, having controlled the race from start to finish. Quartararo, who made history as the youngest pole position qualifier, was devastated after being forced out of a safe second by a broken quickshifter at half-distance. Team-mate Morbidelli put early pressure on Marquez but faded backwards. By contrast, Rins charged through the field from ninth, while Vinales just held off Dovizioso for his first podium of the year. Rossi initially struggled to make progress from 13th until the second half of the race, when he began to climb up the order to sixth. CLICK HERE for the new world championship standings .

Quartararo posted the new fastest-ever MotoGP lap of Jerez as he and Morbidelli surpassed the early leader of Q2, reigning MotoGP champion Marc Marquez. Opting for a three-run strategy in Q2, Marquez recorded just a single flying lap on his opening run, a 1m36.970s, which was enough to leave him top of the timesheets as he returned to the pits. Only Morbidelli came close to matching him initially, lapping 0.041s slower than Marquez but almost a quarter of a second up on the rest of the chasing pack. But after the reigning champion was unable to improve on his second attempt, Quartararo fired in a 1m36.880s, matching Marquez exactly through the first three sectors and finding 0.082s in the final sequence of corners. With the chequered flag approaching, Morbidelli shuffled Marquez down into third place, outpacing the Honda man by 0.008s. Ducati rider Andrea Dovizioso was up on Quartararo's provisional pole time three sectors into his best effort, but ultimately came up 0.138s short. Maverick Vinales was the best of the works Yamahas in fifth, having advanced from Q1, and will share the second row with fourth-placed Dovizioso and sixth-placed Cal Crutchlow. Dovizioso's practice pace-setter teammate Danilo Petrucci took seventh, crashing at Turn 1 on his final lap, ahead of Crutchlow's LCR Honda teammate Takaaki Nakagami and Suzuki's Alex Rins, while Pramac Ducati rookie Pecco Bagnaia made up a top 10 split by 0.504s. Marquez's Honda teammate Jorge Lorenzo crashed at Turn 2 late on and had to settle for 11th, while the other Suzuki of Joan Mir made up the order in Q2. While Vinales had been relatively comfortable advancing to the pole shoot-out, his factory squadmate Valentino Rossi was consigned to 13th on the grid, despite having led Vinales by 0.007s after their first runs in Q1. As Vinales improved by just over two tenths, Rossi's protege Bagnaia slotted in between the Yamahas shortly before time expired, and the seven-time MotoGP champion was unable to respond and avoid an early qualifying exit. Honda wildcard Stefan Bradl was just a tenth away from advancing to Q2, securing 14th on the grid ahead of Bagnaia's Pramac teammate Jack Miller – who crashed at Turn 2 on his final lap. Aleix Espargaro led Aprilia's efforts in 16th, while squadmate Andrea Iannone had crashed early in the pre-qualifying FP4 session and was forced out of action for the rest of the day. Iannone paid a visit to the Clinica Mobile paddock facility for x-rays on his left ankle, although these showed he'd escaped a fracture. Espargaro's brother Pol was again the benchmark for KTM in 17th, albeit this time only 0.022s clear of Johann Zarco. Qualifying results
