Marc Marquez has topped the opening session of the Gran Premi de Catalunya, heading the timesheets ahead of another impressive session from rookie Fabio Quartararo.

The Frenchman ended FP1 0.111 down – despite recovering from arm pump surgery following the Italian GP. Maverick Viñales was third and 0.180 down, having topped the timesheets before Marquez began his last minute attack.

There wasn’t much by way of drama – Jack Miller, who was sixth, had to get a little creative into Turn 10 and the same corner was the scene of a bit of a snap for Marquez’ Honda in the early stages.

The biggest headline stealer saw some modifications on Jorge Lorenzo’s (Repsol Honda Team) tank break cover, with the five-time World Champion having just got back from a post-Mugellp trip to Japan to work on ergonomics…
