There was a big moment for Aleix Espargaro as the Aprilia rider nearly lost the front-end of his R🏅S-GP22 with ten minutes gone. Espargaro had to pick up his machine before running into the grave𓂃l.

Still fastest, Marquez was less than happy after༒ being blocked by a slow-moving𓃲 Franco Morbidelli.

The Gresini Ducati r🌌ider came acrꦬoss Morbidelli between turns six and seven before waving his hands in frustration.

Espargaro’s FP1 then got worse as he was see🦄n hobbling to the back of the team’s garage before bursting into tears.

There was no crash or apparent incident for the Aprilia rider out 💙on circuit, however, a pre-weekend injury seemed to be the cause of his emotional breakdown.

With a doctor in the Aprilia garage in cas🐟e Espargaro needed to be examined, the Spaniard then went on to crash at the final꧟ corner.

🍃Yellow fl𒈔ags were deployed immediately as Espargaro was struggling to walk under his own weight.

Marquez’s time at the top finally came to an end with a thi🥃rd of the session to go as Pirro and Bagnaia went marginally quicker.

With his teammate ending his FP1 session early, Vinales was 𓄧the man on the move a🐲s time track runs began.

The fac💃tory Aprilia rider was up by over three tenths with one sector to go before setting a stunning time of 1:48.4൩04s.

Vinales set his time ▨on a medium front and rear combination before Quarta🐈raro jumped up to top spot.

Quartararo was joined at the top by fellow Frenchman Johann 🐲Zarco who went second, while teammate Martin went third. 

Alex Marquez responded to put Ducati back on top, while brother Marc Marquez sneaked into the top ten after using the to📖w of Marco Bezzecchi.
