Barcelona(naikmotor) – Maverick Vinales menjadi pembalap tercepat di latihan bebas pertama MotoGP Catalunya, Jumat (3/6/2016). Jorge Lorenzo dan Valentino Rossi berturut-turut di tempat kedua dan ketiga.
Pol Espargaro yang baru saja memastikan hengkang dari tim Yamaha Tech 3, mengisi tempat keempat, disusul pembalap tim Aspar Yonny Hernandez. Andrea Iannone hadir di posisi enam.
Latihan hari pertama agaknya kurang menguntungkan bagi Honda, sebab Marc Marquez dan Dani Pedrosa tercecer di posisi tujuh dan 14. Penampilan kurang prima juga ditunjukkan pembalap Ducati Andrea Dovizioso yang tertatih di peringkat 13.
Hector Barbera dan Cal Cruthclow mengisi posisi delapan dan sembilan. Rekan satu tim Vinales di Suzuki Ecstar, Aleix Espargaro mengisi tempat terakhir di posisi 10 besar. (yudistira/nm)
