VR46 Ducati rider Luca Marini topped the opening practice session for the MotoGP Americas Grand Prix. Report ⬇️
VR46 Ducati rider Luca Marini topped the opening practice session for the MotoGP Americas Grand Prix, as Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo made a strong start to the weekend in second.MotoGP’s return to Americas in Texas this weekend sees a VR46 rider in the lead of the championship for the first time, after Marco Bezzecchi took victory in the Argentina GP two weeks ago.
The opening 15 minutes of the session at a gloomy-but-dry COTA was dominated by Gresini Ducati rider Alex Marquez. This would keep Marquez at the head of the standings for around 15 minutes before Quartararo, running a fresh medium rear on his factory Yamaha, took over with a 2m04.201s. Quartararo wrestled top spot back with a 2m03.691s on his penultimate lap on fresh soft rubber, and though he improved to a 2m03.400s on his last effort, it wasn’t enough to overhaul Marini’s session-topping 2m03.250s.Johann Zarco completed the top three on his Pramac Ducati head of Marquez and KTM’s Jack Miller, who recovered from a slow tip-off on the exit of Turn 12 midway through the session to go fifth.
Honda’s Joan Mir was just 0.108s outside of the top 10 in 11th as he makes his return to action having missed the Argentina GP with an ankle injury.
