Marc Marquez had announced that he wanted to regain his feelings for this first #grandprix of the season, after 9 months of absence due to a #broken #arm during the first round #last #year. It is clear that the #six-#time #world #champion is already in good shape, as evidenced by his 3rd fastest time in the first free practice session, just behind his compatriots Alex Rins (Suzuki) and Maverick Vinales (Yamaha). Less than a tenth behind the Honda rider, Johann Zarco (Ducati-Pramac) took 4th time, ahead of Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha).
