Marc Márquez sentenced the first position on the first day of practice of the MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix at the Ángel Nieto circuit in Jerez with the record he achieved in the morning session.

Practically all the pilots rode slower in the afternoon than in the morning, due largely to the high temperatures that were registered on the Andalusian track and if in the initial session the fastest was Márquez, in the evening that honor went to the Italian Franco Morbidelli , although with a slower record than that of the Spanish

One of the negative notes of the day was the mishap suffered by Alex Márquez , who a few minutes after the start of the second free practice, lost grip on the front wheel of his bike when going a little outside the "good line" in turn eight.

The youngest of the Márquez brothers suffered no serious physical damage and was able to return to training shortly after, when the Frenchman Fabio Quartararo was in command of the time table , although far from the morning records as the Frenchman was at 1: 38.152 and by Tomorrow the world champion in title did so in 1: 37.350.

It was not the Márquez brothers' round because shortly after falling Alex starred in his own incident Marc, who at turn two went to the ground as he also lost grip on the front wheel, although he tried, as usual, to save the same supporting the elbow and the knee in the asphalt, but without success.

Marc Márquez was able to start the bike without major problems after the "scrub" on the ground, to continue training as if nothing had happened, after the wake of Quartararo and thus reach the final minutes in which the riders used different strategies, Some of them opted to keep working on the pace of the race and others set up new tires to try to find a better time in the classification.

Among the latter was the South African debutant Brad Binder , who placed the KTM in second position, then surpassed both him and Quartararo by Morbidelli and Marc Márquez in fourth place, although all of them above the morning records due to the high temperatures both of the asphalt and the environment.

Thus, in the combined final of the day it is Marc Márquez who commands the table ahead of the British Cal Crutchlow , much less successful in his performance in the afternoon, with Joan Mir in fifth position and his teammate Alex Rins , seventh, ahead of the KTM treble formed by Pol Espargaró, Iker Lecuona , who debuts in the category, and Binder, who is tenth in that joint table.

Among the main drivers in the category, Quartararo was the only one to improve his morning record, even if it was only a tenth of a second and to remain in a discreet fifteenth place, just ahead of Aleix Espargaró and Alex Márquez.
