Pramac Racing Team riders Johann Zarco and Jorge Martín were back on track again at the Lusail Circuit to face the inaugural Grand Prix of the 2022 MotoGP World Championship.
On the strength of the results obtained in the two test sessions, Jorge Martin ended the first day of free practice with the fourth fastest time during the FP2 with a time of 1:53.652.
Johann Zarco, where on this circuit he scored two consecutive podiums last season, lacked some confidence today, ending the first day of free practice in eighteenth place with a time of 1:54.656.
Jorge Martín
A positive first day, I am very satisfied, finishing with the fourth fastest time is definitely a good start but I want to do even better.
Tomorrow it will be important to have a good qualifying session to start at the front on Sunday.
Johann Zarco
A difficult day, I was hoping to finish in the top ten because it will be difficult to get into Q2 but we’ll try anyway.
Tomorrow we’ll stay focused, it’s a track I really like and where we can do well, so we’ll give our best.
