Continuing his strong showing from Assen, Bezzecchi then s🎶et a time of 2:01.583s to make it a Mooney VR46 Ducati 1-2 ahead of Luca Marin𝓡i. 

Bezzecchi then upped h༺is speed even more to break into the 2m flat lap time barrier, which as a result saw him move six tenths clear of Maverick Vinales. 

Miller then th🍌ought he overhauled Bezzecchi by just -0.007s, however, the factory KTM rider had his lap time deleted due to exceeding track limits. 

FP1 saw Honda and Marc Marquez continue to struggle, a💞s the eight-time world champion was only 15th with half the session gone. 

Despite his strong st𒐪art, Bezzecchi had to avoid a potential scare at turn six when he picked up his Ducati machine and ran off circuit. 

After losing his factory Yamaha seat to Alex Rins, Franco Morbidelli became the first crasher as he went down hard at turn s🦋even.

With FP1 having♈ n🐎o bearing on qualifying seeding, time attack runs failed to materialise during the closing stages. 

Despite being on very used tyre🤪s, Espargaro was t𒊎hreatening the top time after posting two red sectors.

Espargaro eventually got the better of the two Mooney riders with a 2:00.677s lap time, but Johann Zarco, who did choose🅰 to run a new soft rear tyre, improved by a further two tenths. 

Bezzecchi and Marini then found more time in order to make it a 1-2 for the thi𓆏rd time in FP1, a🌸s Marini again held the advantage. 

While it was a smooth-sailing session for many Ducati♈ riders, Bagnaia was continuing to strug🎉gle as he began to gesture at his machine.
