Pecco Bagnaia finished first in the opening practice session for MotoGP’s Dutch TT, leading his 2025 Ducati team-mate Marc Marquez by 0.065s. VR46 Ducati rider Fabio Di Giannantonio briefly took the lead, but his fastest lap was deleted for exceeding track limits, pushing him back to seventh place. Surprising performances came from Trackhouse Aprilia rider Raul Fernandez and Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo, who secured third and fourth places respectively with late soft-tyre runs. Despite not improving on softs in the final runs, Bagnaia maintained his lead over Marquez, whose best effort came on his penultimate lap before an incident on his last run. Maverick Vinales and championship leader Jorge Martin opted to stay on medium tyres, finishing in fifth and tenth places, with Aleix Espargaro closing the session in sixth after overcoming a mechanical issue at the start.
