Pramac Ducati's Johann Zarco obliterated the all-time lap record at the Silverstone circuit on Saturday to take pole position at the British Grand Prix, while Aleix Espargaro salvaged a sixth-placed finish after a massive highside crash in earlier in the day.
Eight riders beat Marc Marquez's old lap record of 1:59.936, which the Honda rider set in 2019, with Zarco's 1:57.767 topping six riders under the 1:58 barrier
"I'm very happy. I got good confidence in FP4 on the hard rear tyre," said Zarco, who was fastest in the final practice session earlier. "On the first lap with the soft tyre during qualifying I felt that the 58.4 was coming. Vinales' team mate Espargaro was stretchered away from the track after crashing at Farm curve during FP4 and taken for medical checks less than an hour before the start of Q2.
He found himself shuffled back to sixth, however, as title rival and championship leader Quartararo briefly went pole before Miller snatched it away, with Zarco eventually steering clear after a late surge from Vinales.
