Johann Zarco topped Friday’s combined Catalunya MotoGP free practice times after exchanging top spot with Franco Morbidelli late on. As was the case in FP1, Morbidelli led most of the session following the initial flurry of laps, but with time attacks coming in thick and fast Zarco was able to move from seventh to first. Morbidelli finished second in both sessions in what looks to be a much better weekend so far for the Italian. Championship leader and race winner at Mugello Fabio Quartararo was third quickest for Monster Energy Yamaha. Fourth was Brad Binder who jumped up the order in blistering style by going three tenths quicker than anyone with two minutes remaining. The South African was 11th at the time of his lap, while late efforts from the factory Ducati duo of Francesco Bagnaia and Jack Miller saw them claim top tens. Related ArticlesaccImages.createImage(); MotoGP Gossip: Fans allowed back at Barcelona and KTM’s revival at MugelloaccImages.createImage(); Brad Binder signs 3-year KTM MotoGP contract extension Bagnaia and Miller were running in 13th and 14th before the time attacks began and seemed to be struggling.
