This is the 37th consecutive year that a motorcycle Grand Prix has taken place at Jerez since its debut in 1987. But with two Grands Prix in 2020, it is the 38th time in a row that there has been a Grand Prix on the track . Assen is the only current site to surpass this longevity: 71 consecutive years from 1949 to 2019. There have been 10 MotoGP winners at Jerez since 2002: Valentino Rossi (6 victories), Marc Marquez (3), Jorge Lorenzo (3), Dani Pedrosa (3), Fabio Quartararo (2), Jack Miller (1), Francesco Bagnaia (1), Casey Stoner (1), Loris Capirossi (1), Sete Gibernau (1). Incidentally, Alberto Puig's victory at Jerez on May 7, 1995 was the first home victory for a Spanish driver in the premier category...
On the manufacturers' side, it is Honda who has the highest number of victories with a total of 22. Yamaha continuation with 10, then Ducati 3 and Suzuki 2. Aprilia just the P3Aleix Espargaró last year as the best result. For KTM, we can only claim sixth position Pol Espargaro in 2020/1 in Jerez.

Fabio Quartararo has always done well at Jerez in MotoGP
For this fourth round of a championship which has only 20 meetings left on its calendar since cancellation of trip to Kazakhstan, it will undoubtedly be wise to put a coin on fabio quartararo. The official Yamaha presents a flattering record in Andalusia. He won his first pole position MotoGP at Jerez in 2019, becoming the youngest driver in the category at 20 years and 14 days old.
He took his first MotoGP victory there in 2020/1 (from pole) and won again in 2020/2, also from pole. In 2021, he won his fourth consecutive pole position and led from the 4th lap before letting go, paralyzed by compartment syndrome. He finished P2 last year, 0.285s behind the winner bagnaia.
A hugely emotional @jackmilleraus after winning in Jerez in 2021, his first victory in five years! 🥲
