The 2026 MotoGP season resumed with a VR46 Ducati 1-2 finish and a bizarre crash by Jorge Martin during the first practice for the Spanish Grand Prix. Despite Martin’s crash on his out-lap for a practice start, he was unhurt and managed to watch the rest of the field. Fabio Di Giannantonio and Franco Morbidelli claimed the top spots for VR46 with fresh tires, while Alex Marquez led with the latest Ducati aero. Marco Bezzecchi was the only Aprilia rider in the Ducati-heavy top six initially. Raul Fernandez put a second Aprilia in the top six, while Jack Miller finished seventh after avoiding a collision with Martin. Pecco Bagnaia, who was in the top six for most of the session, fell to 11th due to others using fresh tires.
