2025 Portuguese MotoGP: Friday Practice reaction LIVE UPDATES

Ogura also on a time attack, went 6th with his first lap. Was improving again on his second lap but now the rain flags are waving.

Fernandez one of the first riders to go for soft-soft for a first time attack, he goes seventh with his first attempt on a 1:38.8.

Some hard-compound fronts out there at the moment as well: Marquez, Bagnaia, Bezzecchi, Miller, and Savadori. Doesn't seem to be offering much at the moment - Bagnaia lapping in mid-1:39s with a soft rear, and Marquez in low-1:39s with a medium-compound rear.

Given what we said before about the potential lack of grip offered by the medium at the moment that's a pretty decent comparison from Marquez's perspective. Tyre age comparison is 10 laps on Marquez's medium and 12 on Bagnaia's soft.

Mir with a bit of a slide exiting the final corner with the medium rear as a kind of illustration of the lack of traction on offer from that.

There is some tyre info available now and there are some with soft and some with medium compound rear tyres.

Perhaps not to the extent as in Malaysia, but there does seem to be quite a difference in potential between the soft and medium rear, which could make Sunday's tyre choice tricky, although with track temperatures down at 23C now you'd imagine that is playing its part.

Half an hour remaining in Practice and it's still Alex Marquez fastest with the 1:38.272 on his second timed lap.

Acosta and Zarco still completing the top-three, then it's Espargaro, Bagnaia, and Aldeguer in the top-six.

Binder, Bezzecchi, Quartararo, and Mir complete the top-10.

Bulega, by the way, sits 15th at the moment with that 1:39.4.

Bulega into the 39s, a 1:39.484 is now faster by about 0.3s than his best race lap from the WSBK weekend in March.

Quiet period of the session at the moment in terms of improvements but Espargaro has just moved up to fourth. Two KTMs in the top-four this afternoon now, with Acosta still there in second.

Zarco, still third in the session at the moment, has stopped on-track. Has been able to push the bike off to the service road.

Marini is back in the HRC box after his turn 13 crash.

MotoGP world feed reporting that Fernandez is okay to continue this afternoon after his first run.

About half the field back in the pits now, including Marquez who remains fastest, ahead of Pedro Acosta by 0.213s. Zarco currently rounding the top-three out with 0.348s between his best and the benchmark of Marquez.

Marini has joined Morbidelli in crashing at turn 13. Bike took a tumble through the gravel and bent the exhaust, swiped a bunch of aero off the left side as well.

Second crash of the season for Marini and the scooter population at turn 13 really being stretched early on this afternoon.

Bagnaia into the 1:38s, which seems good, but he's 0.5s behind Alex Marquez who is already down to a 1:38.272 on his second lap of the afternoon.

Morbidelli has crashed at turn 13 but has commandeered a scooter to get himself back to the pits.

Times immediately into the low-1:39s this afternoon, Acosta fastest at the moment on a 39.171.

Would like to say what tyres people are on but currently no tyre info available.

Raul Fernandez will take part in Practice despite his crash this morning. He has some strapping under his chin and has some damage to his right arm, particularly his humerus and shoulder.

Compared to this morning when conditions were cloudy but affirmatively dry, bar some very light sprinkles of rain in the final 15 minutes, conditions seem a bit more changeable this afternoon.

The Moto2 session that just finished was impacted by rain towards the end, although - for now at least - the track remains mostly dry.

Track temperature has actually fallen compared to this morning and is currently 24C, while air temperature remains 20C.

Late improvement from Bezzecchi puts him sixth on a 1:39.591.
