JEREZ, Spain (Reuters) - Jorge Lorenzo took pole position in record time at his home Spanish Grand Prix on Saturday with compatriot and double world champion Marc Marquez qualifying second despite riding with a fractured little finger.

Yamaha rider Lorenzo’s time of one minute 37.910 seconds was a pole record for the circuit and his first top slot since Misano last September.
