Dutch MotoGP - Free Practice (1) Results

Fresh from a debut MotoGP podium, rookie Quartararo leads opening practice for the Dutch TT at Assen.

The young Frenchman moved to the top ahead of fellow Yamaha rider Vinales - quickest for most of the session - in the closing minutes.

Lorenzo had a new Honda fairing with more bracing for his knees, plus the carbon-fibre covered frame, but suffered a fast accident at Turn 7 late in the session.

Dutch MotoGP - Free Practice (1) Results

Fresh from a debut MotoGP podium, rookie Quartararo leads opening practice for the Dutch TT at Assen.

The young Frenchman moved to the top ahead of fellow Yamaha rider Vinales - quickest for most of the session - in the closing minutes.

Lorenzo had a new Honda fairing with more bracing for his knees, plus the carbon-fibre covered frame, but suffered a fast accident at Turn 7 late in the session.

Although able to walk away, the triple MotoGP champion was clearly shaken and taken by ambulance to the medical centre. Lorenzo was already sore from a big testing accident in Barcelona.

UPDATE: Lorenzo has been taken to hospital for further checks.

The remains of Lorenzo's Repsol Honda.

Petrucci was fortunate to walk away from a sixth-gear fall, while Nakagami and Aprilia's Espargaro - injured at Catalunya - also took a tumble.

Rossi had an early technical problem, forcing him to return to the Yamaha pits.
