Ducati rider Jorge Lorenzo was classified in second place at the end of the first day of free practice for the Aragón GP, which is being held this weekend at the modern circuit near Alcañiz in Spain.

Both the FP1 and FP2 sessions scheduled on Friday were held on a slightly wet surface due to the rain that began to fall on the Spanish track shortly before the MotoGP riders went out.

Lorenzo set his quickest times during the afternoon FP2 session and finished the day well inside the provisional top ten.

“I'm satisfied with my day because I was one of the quickest riders both in the morning and the afternoon, but the conditions in both sessions were very strange,” Jorge said. “The track surface was neither dry nor completely wet, so it is very difficult to draw any important conclusions after practice."

"I would have preferred to lap in dry conditions but just when we were about to go out on track it began to rain. Luckily the forecast for tomorrow says the weather is going to be good so we should have a chance to work better.”
