Quartararo wins at the start – Marquez falls

The 21-year-old won the Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez on his Yamaha at the late season opener in the premier class ahead of his Spanish brand colleague Maverick Vinales. The Italian Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati) came third, passing Jack Miller at the end. No points for Marquez and Rossi Last year's winner and world champion Marc Marquez, while in the lead, hit the gravel trap on the fifth lap, but fought his way back from 18th place to third place. Five laps before the end, however, the multiple champion's attempt to catch up came to an end. After a “highsider,” the 27-year-old Honda driver fell heavily and was taken to be examined on a stretcher. #SpanishGP ���� | �� El golpazo de Marc Márquez.

Update: Marquez suffers a broken upper arm According to his Honda racing team, Marquez broke his right upper arm in his fall. The three-time Jerez winner is scheduled to undergo surgery in Barcelona on Tuesday. Further injuries were ruled out following an investigation. The MotoGP medical team said Marquez should remain under observation for another twelve hours.

Marquez's start next weekend in the Andalusian GP (again in Jerez) is considered very unlikely. MotoGP: Opening in Jerez Pos Name Country Time 1. fabio quartararo France 41.23,79 Minutes 2.
