Marc Marquez took control of the first session of practice for the Moto2 class at Misano late in the session, posting a fast lap to lead Frenchman Jules Cluzel by nearly a third of a second. Cluzel's margin over 3rd place man Aleix Espargaro was smaller, the Spaniard just edging local boy Alex de Anglis into 4th. Aleix' younger brother Pol has clearly taken heart from his first ever podium at Indy last week, the Spaniard briefly leading the session and ending FP1 in 5th, half a second behind Marquez and seven hundredths ahead of Simone Corsi, who led for most of FP1.

West seems to be making some progress with Warren. Good to see.
I hope so, but...
... he always seems to be in the front half in FP1, then go backwards as everyone dials their bikes in. Let's hope this time he doesn't.
Yes he does.
I'm hoping for a great on track battle Sunday between the Espargaro boys.
