The MotoGP riders returned to action at the Estoril circuit for the first two free practice sessions of the Grand Prix of Portugal nearly a month of inactivity after the Jerez race.
Although the sky threatened rain all morning, the MotoGP riders were thankful to have 90 minutes of dry practice time to start working on the race set up.
