Maverick Vina🃏les m🌄ade quite the statement during MotoGP FP1 at Assen by going five tenths quicker than team-mate Fabio Quartararo (fourth fastest), after saying he would ‘copy everything’ the Frenchman does to his bike this weekend.   

Second was Pol Espargaro who also uttered simila✅r words about Marc Marquez follo𓃲wing their tough Sachsenring results, which seemed to work out perfectly. 

It took a ജwhile before anyone could match the pace of Vinales as he had a considerabꦰle gap of over six tenths by the mid-point stage. 

Esp🌱argaro eventually reduced the gap to one tenth on his final flying lap, ❀while Quartararo was +0.561s back in fourth.

Thℱird fastest was Alex Rins, who like Espargaro completed his quickest lap as the session came to a close. 

Johann Zarco had a difficult start to the session as he was way off the pace in last, however, the Sachsenring polesitter stuck in a good final lap to claim fifth - als♌o top Ducati. 

The top KTM ▨was perhaps not the name we expected, ♈as Danilo Petrucci made a good start to his weekend with sixth. 

Aleix Espargaro was seventh fastest for Aprilia, who enjoyed their first double top ten in a session t🥃his season with Lorenzo Savadori in tenth. 

Spli�🍃�tting the two Aprilia RS-GP riders were the Honda’s of Takaaki Nakagami and race winner last time out Marquez. 

The top ten was separated by much bigger gaps than we have become accustomed to seeing, ♍as the +1.026s from Vinales to Savadori is usually a margin that covers the entire field. 

Garrett🥃 Gerloff was the lone crasher of the session as he makes his second official outing in MotoGP - first time ever riding at Assen.
