Friday practice results from thePortuguese MotoGP at Portimao, round 2 (of 21) in the 2024 world championship.
Even without the slippery track conditions, the lack of any pre-season testing compared to the Qatar opener meant this morning’s session was already hard to predict.
Jack Miller, Marc Marquez, home hero Miguel Oliveira, Marc Marquez again and then Maverick Vinales - suffering from “a simple gastroenteritis with very mild symptoms” this morning - put Aprilia ahead. That time was several seconds off the 1m 38.872s by Aleix Espargaro in last year’s grand prix, with Marquez’s Repsol Honda pole record a 1m 37.226s.
With no further rain forecast, lap times are likely to be significantly faster as the track cleans further this afternoon.
