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.

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?
