Wet start to Red Bull GP of The Americas

Marquez in the wet

The first session of the weekend has got underway in Austin, Texas with Ducati rider Andrea Dovizioso first ahead of Repsol Honda's Marc Marquez.

An issue with the lap time transponder delayed the session from starting by fifty minutes, then after just twelve minutes the session was red flagged when a dog was spotted on the track. A further delay of twenty minutes ensued before the riders were able to return on track and complete this first session.
