Aleix Espargaro claimed pole position thanks to a new all-time lap record in Barcelona, before taking his second MotoGP sprint win at his home round.

Francesco Bagnaia, who looked set to claim that victory before crashing out of the lead on the final lap, will again start from P2 in the grand prix.

Raul Fernandez, who like Bagnaia crashed out of the sprint when leading, starts from third after having his fastest Q2 time reinstated after it was initially deleted due to yellow flags.

Fourth in the sprint race, championship leader Jorge Martin will lead away the third row once again.

Following another epic performance from outside the top ten, Marc Marquez - second in the sprint - will start the grand prix from P14.
