Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda Team) topped a wet FP1 in the Red Bull Gran Premio de España, before conditions improved dramatically for a dry FP2 with the same name at the top.

The three-time world champion did a 1m39.420s to go quickest by over half a second, with a stunning lap-time from Jack Miller (Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS) putting him into second as the only other rider in the 1m39s.

Cal Crutchlow (LCR Honda) was second in the wet and moved back one place in the dry later in the day to end Friday in third, just ahead of what looked to be an incredible headline as the last few minutes of FP2 approached, Jorge Lorenzo (Ducati Team).

Fastest out the blocks in the wet in FP1 for the early stages of that session, the ‘Spartan’ topped the time-sheets in the afternoon with a few minutes left on the clock, before ending day one of his first home race of the year in fourth as top Ducati. Danilo Petrucci (Octo Pramac Racing) also impressed on the GP17, locking out the top five.

Maverick Viñales (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) was sixth and suffered a fast low-side crash at turn nine, only his third during a GP weekend session since 2017 began and teammate Valentino Rossi also had a more difficult first day in P12.

Alvaro Bautista (Pull&Bear Aspar Team) gave the home fans more reason to cheer in seventh, ahead of Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team) and Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia Racing Team Gresini).

In 10th was another stunner as Pol Espargaro (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) took KTM into the top 10 for the first time, only 1.153s in arrears in an awesome performance on day one at one of his home grands prix.

Scott Redding (Octo Pramac Racing) was in P11 ahead of Rossi, with Jonas Folger (Monster Yamaha Tech 3) slotting in behind the ‘Doctor’ and teammate Johann Zarco in 15th.

Reigning champion Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) was 14th on Friday, but didn’t use the softer option rubber from Michelin to set a time attack.

Former Moto3 champion Alex Marquez (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) was fastest first in a wet FP1 at the Spanish GP and followed up his impressive pace to take back the top spot on Friday afternoon with a 1m43.121s as conditions improved to fully dry.

Dominique Aegerter (Kiefer Racing) was second fastest in an impressive Friday for Suter, ahead of Tech 3 Racing’s Xavi Vierge in another superstar performance. His teammate Remy Gardner returned to go 29th on combined times.

After a wet FP1, FP2 dawned drier and drying for the Moto3 field, with points leader Joan Mir (Leopard Racing) taking to the top with a 1m49.564s, two-tenths ahead of key rivals Romano Fenati (Marinelli Rivacold Snipers) and John McPhee (British Talent Team).
