With the pole achieved today in Jerez, in the qualifying of the Moto2 class, Marc Marquez completes the Spanish domination which had seen first Alex Rins excel in Moto3 and then Jorge Lorenzo in MotoGP.

Iberian domination therefore for a “Cabroncito” who snatches pole from the Japanese Nakagami by just 80 thousandths. A great performance for the Spaniard if we consider that just a month ago he was still struggling with the problem of double vision in his right eye, a problem due to the crash in practice for the Malaysian Grand Prix last October.

Marquez with the Suter ahead of Nakagami's Kalex and also that of his compatriot Pol Espargarò, riding the Team Pons 40 HP Tuenti bike. Thomas Luthi follows, with the Suter of Team Interwetten-Paddock. The Swiss, who has a gap from pole of 305 thousandths, precedes three Kalex, those of Mika Kallio, our Claudio Corti and that of the Spaniard Esteve Rabat. Closing out the Top Ten are Mike di Meglio's Speed ​​Up, the Kalex of the Swiss GP Team Switzerland of the Swiss Randy Krummenacher and the Motobi of Johann Zarco's Team JiR.

More difficult were Alex De Angelis, eleventh with the Suter of Team NGM Mobile Forward Racing and Andrea Iannone thirteenth with the Speed ​​Up of Team Speed ​​Master. In "recovery" compared to free practice, Roberto Rolfo finished twenty-first at 1.635, "only" six tenths behind the eleventh fastest time of Alex De Angelis.

Falls without physical consequences for Simone Corsi, Axel Pons, Bradley Smith, Scott Redding and Alexander Lundh.
