-----------------

Marc Marquez has topped the first session of free practice in Barcelona, upping the pace at the end of the session as the track started to improve. Marquez deposed his Repsol Honda teammate Dani Pedrosa, the Spaniard having found the same burst of pace as Marquez late in FP1. The speed of the two Hondas meant Aleix Espargaro was bumped into third, the Suzuki man showing impressive pace throughout the session, and improved top speeds. Both Espargaro and Suzuki teammate Maverick Viñales were quick, Viñales ending the session in 5th, behind Jorge Lorenzo.

Yonny Hernandez was 6th fastest in FP1, the Pramac man fastest of the Ducatis, with an excellent fast lap by Nicky Hayden on the Open class Aspar Honda shooting up to 7th, just eight tenths behind Marquez. Valentino Rossi ended FP1 in 8th, the championship leader over a second off the time of Marquez, and ahead of the factory Ducati of Andrea Dovizioso. Cal Crutchlow rounded out the top 10.
