Bagnaia fastest for Ducati during Friday afternoon practice for the 2021 Spanish MotoGP at Jerez as most riders fit new soft rear tyres for a time attack at the end of the session.

Morbidelli, quickest before the time attacks, and Marc Marquez were among those that did not go for a new soft rear tyre at the end.

Injured rookie Jorge Martin is being replaced at Pramac by Rabat, while Bradl is making his first wild-card of the season after racing as a replacement for Marquez in Qatar.

Marquez, sidelined for nine months after complications to a broken right arm at Jerez last July, is taking part in his second event since returning to MotoGP action in Portimao. The #93 was the only rider not to go faster than in FP1.
