Takaaki Nakagami fastest free practice time 1 in Barcelona, ​​Jorge Martin 5th, Francesco Bagnaia 7th

The times took a while to come down, and they only really jumped when some drivers used a second set of new tires. This is how Takaaki Nakagami (LCR Honda) took the opportunity to take the lead: the Japanese, who will say goodbye to MotoGP at the end of the weekend, finished the session with the best time (1 '40''501), ahead of Pedro Acosta (GasGas, + 0''411) and Alex Marquez (Gresini, + 0''414).
