Quartararo tops opening Barcelona MotoGP practice

Fabio Quartararo topped first MotoGP practice in Barcelona on his Petronas SRT Yamaha.

His early 1m40.972s stood all session before he beat it himself with a 1m40.584s.

That put Quartararo half a second clear of the field, and though Andrea Dovizioso twice sliced into that gap a final 1m40.431s from Quartararo meant he ended the session fastest by 0.430s.
