Alex Marquez (Gresini) set the pace in the opening free practice session of the British MotoGP at Silverstone, clocking a 1:58.692. Marco Bezzecchi was second, 0.173 seconds back on a 1:58.865, with Pedro Acosta third on a 1:58.974.
From corner entry to exit, a 0.173-second gap is razor-thin. That's a time you only pull off with a sharpened feel through your fingertips on the throttle. Having watched this paddock closely, you can already sense how well-sorted the Gresini side is, right from FP1.

Seen plenty of FP1 leaders fall apart by race day though.
Yeah, Friday pace never really tells the full story.
0.173s gap is a tight margin for FP1.
Alex is on fire, hope he carries this into the race.
Did Acosta avoid crashing this time?
