Sam Lowes (Elf Marc VDS Racing Team) began his Gran Premio MotoGP™ Guru by Gryfyn de España in fine fashion as his untouched Practice 1 time of a 1:41.170 secured Day 1 honours for the Brit. With the temperatures rising significantly in the afternoon, the track became slick in Practice 2, and the riders were unable to improve on their P1 times. Somkiat Chantra (IDEMISTU Honda Team Asia) put the hammer down in P1 to take 2nd place with the top 3 holding strong on their P1 efforts. With the order unchanged it was Alonso Lopez (Beta Tools SpeedUp) who enjoyed a solid start to his home Grand Prix in P3.
