2025 Aragon MotoGP: Friday practice as it happened
Recap the 2025 MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix
The eighth round of the 2025 MotoGP World Championship sees the paddock return to Spain for the Aragon Grand Prix.
Marc Marquez leads the standings ahead of what is effectively a home race for the eight-time world champion, after finishing third in a chaotic British Grand Prix two weeks ago.
The factory Ducati rider rebounded from a crash ahead of a red flag to get himself on the podium and extend his championship lead to 24 points over younger brother Alex Marquez.
Pecco Bagnaia's hopes took a major knock at Silverstone as a DNF in the grand prix has left him 72 points back of team-mate Marc Marquez ahead of the eighth round.
Friday schedule:
- FP1 - 9:45 BST (45 minutes)
- Practice - 14:00 BST (60 minutes)

14:32
Marc Marquez follows that lap up with a 1m47.244s. Once again, we're seeing that strong used tyre pace coming to the fore for the Ducati rider.
14:30
On a 12-lap medium rear, Marc Marquez has improved to a 1m47.212s.
14:30
Big moment for Quartararo coming out of the final corner. A pretty good display of the rear grip that bike is seemingly still chasing around Aragon.
He was on a fresh soft rear.
14:28
Fermin Aldeguer jumps up to fourth on a fresh soft rear.
14:26
Michelin reckons the soft rear can do the distance in the grand prix this weekend. Most riders are having a look at that option right now.
Interestingly, Marc Marquez isn't. He's back out on the same medium he started with.
14:20
Standings after 20 minutes:
- M.Marquez
- Bezzecchi
- Vinales
- A.Marquez
- Bagnaia
- Acosta
- Miller
- Aldeguer
- Binder
- Di Giannantonio
14:17
Bit of a shake of the head for Quartararo as completes his latest lap. He's only 12th right now. Clearly not happy with something on that Yamaha.
14:14
Marc Marquez hits the top of the timesheets with a 1m47.370s, putting him 0.272s clear of Bezzecchi.
14:11
Bezzecchi now goes top with a 1m47.642s.
14:11
Bezzecchi has split the two factory Ducatis. He's out there on a nine-lap-old used medium rear.
This track has traditionally been quite a good one for Aprilia, so another solid result could be on the cards for Bez this weekend.
14:09
Fermin Aldeguer had a massive slide going through Turn 3 on the front end. He did great to keep that upright!
14:09
Marc Marquez moves up to second with a 1m47.866s to form a Ducati 1-2 at the top of the times with team-mate Bagnaia.
14:08
Good start to this session for KTM. Vinales and Acosta are up there in second and third, while Binder is ninth.
14:06
Pecco Bagnaia now goes fastest with a 1m47.843s.
14:06
Bezzecchi and Rins are the only ones out there on a used rear tyre right now.
14:05
Alex Marquez now goes top with a 1m48.584s on a medium rear.
14:04
First laps on the board and Maverick Vinales is fastest with a 1m48.724s on a soft rear tyre.
14:02
Real mix of tyres at the start of this session. Both rear options and both fronts being looked at by the riders.
14:00
Green Flag
Pitlane is open for Practice.
13:58
Riders weren't too complimentary of the grip levels on offer this morning at Aragon. While more rubber will go down this afternoon, the hot temperatures won't do much to improve things.
13:56
Marc Marquez was in dominant form this morning at a track he has won at six times in his career in MotoGP.
The Ducati rider was 0.970s clear of the field at the end of FP1.
13:55
Five minutes till pitlane opens.

This session will also be where we see some race running pace to hopefully give us a better idea of how the rest of the weekend will play out.
