Manuel Gonzalez leads opening practice for the Moto2 class at a damp Termas de Rio Hondo circuit in Argentina.

Light rain at the end of the Moto3 session meant the track was moist enough for wet tyres at the start of the Moto2 session, before riders switched over to slicks.

2022 title runner-up Ai Ogura, who missed round one due to a wrist injury in winter training, is back for round two.
