Sam Lowes tops the Moto2 timesheets ahead of Joe Roberts during Free Practice 1 for the Indonesia Grand Prix, held on a damp track at the new Mandalika circuit.

Conditions continued to improve despite a light mid-session shower, with the fastest riders fitting slick tyres in the closing minutes.

Lowes' Marc VDS team-mate Tony Arbolino had been fastest for much of the session on wet tyres.

Unlike MotoGP, Friday marks the first Mandalika laps for the Moto3 and Moto2 classes.
