After the costly Phillip Island accident, which cost Augusto Fernandez the Moto2 title lead, the Ajo rider dominated a dry Free Practice 1 for the Malaysian Grand Prix.
Fernandez was classified 0.8s clear, but an otherwise perfect session ended on a low when he lost the front at the final corner.
Aron Canet had suffered a carbon copy fall earlier in the session, taking down Barry Baltus in the process. Canet rushed to try and help the Dutchman, who was clearly in pain and required a stretcher.
Title leader Ai Ogura was fourth quickest.
