There were early issues for Marc Marquez who swiftly returned to pit lane f🃏ollowing his out lap.

The 11-time race winner at Sac♕hsenring managed to make his way back out after just six minutes of FP1.

At the 🏅front of the leaderboard, Jorge Martin was setting very🐽 fast times along with Alex Marquez.

After seeing Martin and brother Alex exchange ꦺfastest times, Marc Marquez made his mark as he went quickest by over two tenths despite having to overtake Pedro Acosta at the final corner.

Marquez set a ti🐭me of 1:21.027s as only three other riders were within hal✤f a second of the eight-time world champion.

Comfortably into the 1m 20s barrier, Marquez in๊creased his advantage to over half a second ahead of his bro🌄ther, Alex.

It was a slow start to FPꦉ1 for Francesco Bagnaia, who was down in 16th place with nearly 20 minutes g♛one.

Looking ꩵset to challenge Marquez’s top time, Martin had two red sectors before running wide and into the gravel♛ at turn eight.

Martin then made a similar mistake just a few c🐓orners later as his attempts to match Marquez saw him run ♐off at turn one.

After setting just a couple of laps, Aleix Espargaro decided to pull out this wee🉐kend whilst the session was running.

Electing 🉐for new soft tyres to end the session, Ma🐲rtin managed to overhaul Marquez but only by a tenth of a second.

A very strong FP1 then came to a disappointing end for Ma𝕴rc Marquez as he crashed at turn one. 

There was more drama for Spanish riders late on as Martin returned to pit due to his air bag goinꦡg off, while Acosta suffered a front-end washout at the final corner.
