Upon returning to the Czech circuit, the Spaniard starts great by hitting the first half in the final minutes of the session
Marc Marquez is the fastest in the free practice one of the GP of the Czech Republic of MotoGP, who returned scheduled after five years of absence. The Spaniard marks the best time in 1’54”606 after a session complicated by some technical boredoms in which he completed only nine laps. Second the Yamaha of Jack Miller, the first to bet on dry tires but still detached from six tenths from the GP25 number 93
The return of Martin and Bastianini
–
But the return on the calendar of the Czech Republic GP is not the only novelty: Jorge Martin is finally reviewed in Brno on the track, absent for three months after the injury remedied in Qatar and already protagonist in the Thursday conference where he confirmed the will to want to stay in Aprilia also in 2026. The Spanish world champion then closed the session in seventeenth position without particular difficulties in the guidance. Enea Bastianini – excellent fifth – forced to skip the German GP of last week for an important gastroenteritis. On the other hand, the KTM Tech 3 Maverick Vinales pilot is absent, who underwent an operation to the left shoulder after the remedied injury in Sachsenring qualifications. In his place is Pol Espargaro (15th). Chantra also absent, replaced by Nakagami (tenth) after the knee ligament operation, and Franco Morbidelli, still struggling with the injury remedied to the left shoulder.
Via Bagnato, Marquez problem
–
Rather complicated situation on the legendary Czech circuit, with the pilots forced to face mixed conditions and a light rain to welcome the green flag. Then, only ten minutes before the first twist: Problems for Marc Marquez, forced to accompany his GP25 after a technical boredom are only ten minutes before the first twist: problems. The mechanics thus intervened on the motorcycle of the Spaniard, providing for the tank removal for further analyzes and forcing Marc to wait for the pits. Fall, however, for Marco Bezzecchi, involved in a track exit in the third sector even without consequences.
The track dries, Marc is back
–
With thirty minutes at the end of the FP1, the ranking is commanded is Zarco, in front of 2’06”506 to confirm the great skills of the Frenchman on the wet track. Binder and Pedro Acosta follow. It is then twenty minutes from the term that Marc Marquez is reviewed – with replaced motorcycle – while in the Ducati house we also work on the Bagnaia motorcycle, with some changes to the front to allow Pecco to evaluate some changes in structure. The two pilots of Borgo Panigale thus begin a parallel job, with Marquez followed closely Bagnaia on the track before returning to the pits again without marking a time. After the rain, Miller is the first to spend on dry tires (hard), soon marking the best time in 2’01”589, five seconds faster than Zarco. This is the moment of the tire change for everyone, and the pilots improve repeatedly. The fastest will then be Marc Marquez, who returned to the track and immediately very fast despite the few passages (9) launched. Some concern for the Spaniard in the return tour, with more than one look at the rather worn front tire. Bad fall on the ending for Ogura in the first sector: motorcycles in poor condition for the Japanese who, however, gets up without consequences.
