Marco Bezzecchi was quickest during MotoGP World Championship Free Practice One (FP1) in hot and humid conditions Friday morning at the new-to-the-series Buddh International Circuit, in India. Riding his Mooney VR46 Racing Team Ducati Desmosedici, the Italian lapped the unfamiliar and challenging 3.1-mile (5.0 km) track in 1:45.990 to lead the field of 22 riders.
The session was full of crashes and riders running off track, especially at tight Turn One, as they tried to learn the new circuit.
Fabio Quartararo lost valuable track time in FP1 when he suffered technical problems with both of his Monster Energy Yamaha YZR-M1s.
