♐After a soaking FP1, a dry line developed on the Austi🦩n circuit during the afternoon hour.

Jack Miller was the first to swap from wet tyres to slicks and sat 3.4sꦓ clear of the field at the midway stage.

But l𓃲ap times continued improving w𒀰ith Marc Marquez, seeking his eighth COTA win this weekend, setting a 2m 2.929s just seconds before the chequered flag.

Fabio di Giannantonio then made it a GP25 o🦄ne-two, albeit 🐻0.736s behind the red machine.

VR46 team-mate and mor𒆙ning leader Franco Morbidelli was third. 

Marc’s younger brother Alex and rookie Gresini team-mate Fermin Aldeguer completed🎃 an all-Ducati top five.

Miller was the top Yamaha in sixthཧ ahead of the leading KTM of Pedro Acosta.

Marquez's factory team-mate Francesco Bagnaia hung on to the final top ten place for direc🥃t access to Saturday’s Qualifying 2, as the slowest of the Ducatis.

Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha), Brad Binder (KTM), Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia), Ai Ogura (Trackhouse Aprilia) and Luca Marini♛ (Honda) will be among those fighting for the two transfer places in Q1 tomorrow.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Morbidelli leads a soaking wet opening practice for the 2025 Americas MotoGP at COTA, as title leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez suffers his first crash of the season.

As forecast, rain✤ doused the Austin circuit on Friday morning, creating the first wet 😼session of the year.

Marquez, seeking to extend his unbeaten run as a factory Ducati rider at one of his most success💧ful tracks, was soon tussling for the🐷 top spot with the likes of Jack Miller and VR46's Morbidelli.

The Spaniard had just returned to the top, with 15 of 45 minutes gone, when his Desmosedici snapped sideways a💫t Turn 2, flicking him into a fast highside.

Fortunately unhurt,ꦏ Marquez helped push his machine onto a waiting trailer, which towed him back to the paddock.

Younger brother Alex Marquez, reigning COTA winner Maverick Vinales and Francesco Bagnaia th🤪en took turns at the top.

Marc Marquez was soon battling for P1 again on his retu🐟rn to action but couldn’t match the late session pace of Argentina podium finisher Morbidelli and Pramac's Miller.

Johann Zarco✃ (LCR Honda), Pedro Acosta (KTM𝕴), Bagnaia (Ducati) and Alex Marquez (Gresini Ducati) completed the top seven.

Maverick Vinales, w𓂃ho swept to a perfect double for Aprilia at COTA last season, also featured on top of the timesheets on his way to a morale-boosting eighth for Tech3 KTM.

Injured reigning MotoGP champion Jorge Martin is present at COTA as a spec✤tator ahead of a possible April🍨ia debut next time out in Qatar.

The Spaniard watched from the pits as team-mate Marco Bezzecchi’s weekend got off to a nightm🐲are start with a spluttering technical issue on his out lap… Then again witᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚh his spare bike.

Bez’s FP1 woes continued with a highside at Turn 5, then more technical gr⛄emlins when he returned ꦛon his other bike. The Italian's horrid session was complete with a terrible practice start.

Rookie star Ai Ogura also had an FP1 to forget on the Trackhouse mac🍷hine.

Aprilia test rider Lorenzo Savadori is again replacing Martin, with Ya♔maha test rider Augusto Fernandez making his M1 MotoGP debut in place of injured Pramac rider Miguel Oliveira.

Fernandez, a best of 10th during hi😼s previous Austin MotoGP appearances for Tech3 KTM, matched that position with an ꦅimpressive showing in FP1.

The weather is expected to improve as the weekend goes on, but it remains to be seen what conditions 💛the riders will face in this afternoon’s Practice.

That session, which also decides the top ten riders with direct Qualifying 2 access, takes place f🥂rom 3-4pm local time.
