Vinales lays down an early marker with FP1 flyer

MotoGP form man Maverick Vi?ales was in ominous form throughout the first free practice session in Austi𒁏n, Texas, as he topped the standings f💎rom Marc Marquez by a full half second.

Keen to lay a marker down at the venue where Marquez has dominated duri𝕴ng the past four seasons, Vi?ales assumed top spot mid-way through the 45 minutes, and soon went on to consolidate that with a 2m 4.923s lap.

For the 3.4-mile 20-corner Circuit of the Americas track, times were typically spread apart with ဣsixth placed Jorge Lorenzo over a second slower than the quickest🅰 rider.

Th🐎ere appeared to be some improvements for the factory Ducati squad, as Andrea Dovizioso was a fine third after jumping up the order late into the session.

Not only quick in Qatar and Argentina, Johann Zarco again underlined his growing reputation as a MotoGP star by plac♌ing fourth in FP1, 0.8s off Vi?ales' best time.

Alvaro Bautista was fꦡifth, ahead of Lorenzo, who spent much of the session stranded in 16th before a late jump. Dani Pedrosa was seventh, with Valentino Rossiꩲ (eighth), Aleix Espargaro (ninth) and Danilo Petrucci (tenth) all improving late on.

Cal Crutchlow brushed off an early fall at turn six ༒to place eleventh, narrowly ahead of Jack Miller and Scott Redding.
