First day of work for the Repsol Honda Team
The Repsol Honda Team riders arrived in Japan motivated to continue accumulating good results after their performance at the Indian Grand Prix.
Marc Márquez finished the first session in 13th position, and found a feeling with the bike and the track for the rest of the weekend. In the afternoon session, he was amongst the Top 10 for much of the duration, but a crash in the final stages prevented him from improving his times and going directly into Q2, as he finished 14th.
Joan Mir started the day in good form, finishing FP1 in fifth position. However, in the afternoon, he failed to make the cut for Q2, finishing in 12th position, and he will also be forced to go through Q1 on Saturday.
