New leader

Alex Marquez has gone fastest, Fabio Quartararo is second.

We're back

Former champ Pecco Bagnaia is out on track as the afternoon session begins.

11:53

Maverick Vinales has popped up to fourth. He's 0.583s behind Bagnaia's best now, which is pretty solid for Vinales in  his first morning on the RC16.

11:47

Fermin Aldeguer has crashed at turn five. That's all three rookies now that have crashed this morning.

11:46

A decent look at that white-out livery for Pecco Bagnaia. This is the bike he used to set the 39.398 that currently has him atop the times.

Bagnaia to the top now on a 1:39.398, putting him 0.149s ahead of Alex Marquez. Bagnaia now back in the pits with just over four hours to go.

11:41

Somkiat Chantra has had his first MotoGP crash. Just lost the front in braking for turn 10.

11:40

The combination of Franco Morbidelli's leathers and that VR46 Ducati livery is surely one of the most colourful we've seen in recent years. Tough to miss him out on-track with that look!

Marquez ends his first run as a factory Ducati rider in fifth place. Looks like he's on an in-lap now.

10:21

Enea Bastianini's out on track too for his first taste of the KTM. Slightly poetically, Marquez rode right by him on his first timed lap, which put him 18th.

Alex Marquez at the top now, by the way, ahead of Binder and Quartararo.

Marc Marquez has headed out for the first time on the factory Ducati. Pecco Bagnaia is out not far behind him.
