As the first laps came in, Marco B🔯ezzecchi was the early leader before Jorge 🌌Martin, who is one point ahead of the Mooney VR46 Ducati rider in the championship, took over at the top. 

A full💎 second up after three sectors, Aleix Esparg🐻aro and Jack Miller then battled for top spot with the KTM rider managing to better Espargaro.

Martin and Bezzecchi then reduced Mi꧋ller’s lead to under a tenth as t♑he Pramac rider remained ahead of Bezzecchi. 

Continuing his strong showing from Assen, Bezzecchi then set a time of 2:01.583s to make it a Mooney VR46 Ducati 1-🦂2 ahead of Luca Marini. 

Bezzecchi then upped his speed even more to break into the 2m flat lap time barrier, 🎀which as a result saw him move six tenths clear of Maverick Vinales. 

Miller ꦗthen thought he overhauled Bezzecchi by just -0.007s, howev﷽er, the factory KTM rider had his lap time deleted due to exceeding track limits. 

FP1 saw Honda and Marc Marquez﷽ continue to struggle, as the ꦑeight-time world champion was only 15th with half the session gone. 

Despite his strong s♌tart, Bezzecchi had to avoid a potential scare at turn six when he picked up his Ducati machine and ran off circuit. 

After losing his factory Yamaha seat to Alex Rins, Franco Morbidelli became the first crasher as he went ♚down hard at turn se✅ven.

Withౠ FP1 having no bearing on qualifying seeding, time attack runs failed to materialise during the closing stages. 

Despite being🍷 on very used tyres, Espargaro was threatening the top time after posting two red se🎉ctors. 

However, it was instead Marini who leapt to the top of the lಌeaderboard with a time of 2:00.831s. 

Espargaro eventually got the better of the two Mooney r🎃iders with a 2:00.677s lap time, but Johann Zarco, who did choose to run a new s𝓀oft rear tyre, improved by a further two tenths. 

Bezzecchi and Marini then found mor🌺e time in order to make it a 1-2 for the third time in FP1, as Marini again held the advantage. 

While it was a smooth-sailing session for many Ducati riders, Bagnaia was 🌜continuing to ꧃struggle as he began to gesture at his machine.
