Mixed asphalt conditions during the fp1, the French rider closed with the fifth time 1’34.2420

Excellent performance in fp2 for Johann and Jorge who, with times of 1’31.893 and 1’31.904, take the third and fourth place in the overall ranking.
Jorge Martín
This morning I wanted to get confident with the bike and the track.
In the afternoon session I already felt much better and in fact I finished in fourth position.
The sensations are very positive and I’m confident.
Johann Zarco
Definitely a very positive first day,
I was able to go well in both sessions.
Having done the test here has definitely helped me to get familiar with the track.
It will be important tomorrow to get into Q2 right away and have a good qualifying session.
