Moto2 title leader Augusto Fernandez leads a tricky opening practice at Phillip Island, after Jake Dixon loses what would have been the best lap of the session due to yellow flags.

FP1 was delayed by red flags after four riders - including Pedro Acosta - fell on their out-laps, apparently caught out by strong winds.

Light rain then began falling intermittently after the restart, complicating things further, while Celestino Vietti was taken down by contact from Alonso Lopez.
