Marc Marquez has drawn first blood at Silverstone, setting the fastest time of the first session of free practice for the 125cc class. The Red Bull Ajo rider just nicked ahead of Tuenti Derbi's Pol Espargaro in the final moments of the session, after Espargaro had sat comfortably atop the timesheets for nearly all of FP1.
Despite the fact that the layout at Silverstone is new for everyone, familiar faces dominated practice. Marquez and Espargaro ended the session ahead of Espargaro's teammate Efren Vazquez and the Bancaja Aspar pairing of Bradley Smith and Nico Terol. Terol was in turn over a second ahead of STIPA Molenaar's Randy Krummenacher, with the rest of the field even further behind.
