Repsol Honda rider Marc Marquez was fast through both sessions on day one of the Aragon Grand Prix on Friday and eventually finished fourth overall at the end of the day, having chosen to not take advantage of the session's final minutes in changing conditions.

With the entire day affected by an intermittent drizzle, FP1 had also been run on rain tyres, with Marc and Dani first and second, respectively.

With weather forecast to improve for the weekend, Marc looks forward to getting some dry track time in on Saturday in order to best prepare for the race, which should also be run in dry conditions.

“Today was good, even if it was a particular one. In these kinds of conditions, it's not possible to understand too much,” he said. “The track was wet in the morning, whereas it dried quite a lot in the afternoon, toward the end of FP2.”

“We decided not to take risks in the changing conditions and remained in the garage in the last minutes. Today it was actually good to work to reach a good feeling with the bike, but at the same time it was impossible to gather much information.”

“Anyway, I felt good with the bike from the first lap. I was fast, so at the moment everything looks under control. Apparently it should be dry tomorrow and Sunday, so we'll keep pushing and see where we are in dry conditions.”
