MotoGP: Zarco tops treacherous Practice 1 at Misano
Johann Zarco (Pramac Racing) topped the opening practice session for the MotoGP series at Misano as the premier class was slowed by a rain-soaked Friday morning on the Adriatic coast.
Taking it easy like most riders, second-fastest Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) was 1.4s down on Zarco’s 1:42.374, Jack Miller (Ducati Lenovo Team) was third while teammate Francesco Bagnaia crashed late at Turn 8 and World Championship leader Fabio Quartararo finishing way down in18th.
