MotoGP title leader Marc Marquez kicked off his quest for a first Silverstone win since 2014 on top of the timesheets during FP1 for the British MotoGP.
Marquez’s only issue came after the session, when he nursed his GP25 back to the pits with a technical problem and was forced to miss the practice start session, where riders gather crucial set-up data for their holeshot devices.
Nonetheless, the factory Ducati star was the only rider in the 1m 58s in FP1, finishing 0.365s clear of VR46’s Franco Morbidelli, who fitted new rubber for his final run.
Morbidelli demoted Alex Marquez’s Gresini machine from second on his final lap, with Aprilia’s Marco Bezzecchi, Pramac Yamaha’s Jack Miller and Tech3 KTM’s Maverick Vinales completing the top six.
Rookie Ai Ogura walked away from a fast accident at turn 2, at the end of the session.
Fabio Quartararo – who used some new aero tweaks this morning – had to sit out the opening ten minutes of FP1 for an argument with marshals while attempting to re-join after crashing in his home French MotoGP.
The Frenchman was seventh fastest ahead of Francesco Bagnaia, who was 0.842s behind team-mate Marquez.
2023 Silverstone winner Aleix Espargaro is making his second HRC wild-card appearance of the season.
Somkiat Chantra is returning from arm pump surgery – and fell after the session, on his way around for a second practice start.
Injured reigning world champion Jorge Martin continues to be replaced by Aprilia test rider Lorenzo Savadori.
Last year’s double Silverstone winner Enea Bastianini has a long lap penalty to serve in Sunday’s race, for colliding with Bagnaia at the first chicane of the French Grand Prix.
