Andrea Dovizioso was classified in eighth 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 today 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. Dovizioso set his quickest time during the afternoon FP2 session finishing the day inside the provisional top ten.

“Today we weren’t very lucky because it started to rain just before each session and this made the day virtually useless. We worked a bit on the electronics, but as there was too little water on the track and the tyres wore out very quickly so we only did the required number of laps to set a top-ten time and tomorrow we’ll have to start from scratch.”
