Jorge Martin marked his best time at 1:31.396 on the last lap of the FP2 session. He finished in fifth place.
A time of 1:31.603 earned Johann Zarco the tenth position.
Jorge Martín
I am very happy with this first day of free practice sessions.
It’s a track where I am confortable and have a lot of fun.
I am very motivated and I know that we can do very well here.
Johann Zarco
This morning it was very cold and it was raining. It wasn’t easily to acquire the right feeling on the track.
In the evening on the asphalt I set the tenth-best time, but I am satisfied.
We have worked well.
We need to be able to take a small step forwards.
