What happened in Thailand seems likely to repeat itself in Argentina. Marc Márquez led the first free practice session this morning at Termas de Río Hondo, quickly showing his speed.
Johann Zarco (Castrol Honda LCR) was the first session leader, ahead of Maverick Viñales (Red Bull KTM Tech3). The two remained as the early pace-setters in a session that was not very representative, as the track conditions were expected to be at their worst throughout the weekend.
Álex Rins (Monster Energy Yamaha) moved up to third, with Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia) in fourth after ten minutes. Surprisingly, at this stage, no Ducati was among the top eight.
