Don’t forget – we’ll be live on social media shortly, with Elliot York and Kiko Giles bringing you up to speed from this morning’s action!

12:25 - KTM appear to have a busy testing plan today, with Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) spotted running a slightly updated side fairing earlier on in the morning. Both Binder and Acosta are also using the new stegosaurus rear aero as they try to search for the next step!

12:20 - We’ve got our first shots of Joan Mir on track today, as he breaks into the top 10 while putting in valuable laps for HRC. Mir is the sole Honda HRC Castrol rider in action, with Luca Marini continuing to recover following a crash at Suzuka.

12:00 - Another hour has ticked by at Aragon, with Marc Marquez remaining in P1 and the only rider inside the 1:45 bracket! Just one hour remains before a short break ahead of the afternoon session at 13:20 (UTC +2).

11:40 - Both Ducati Lenovo riders are currently in the pits, with Marc Marquez remaining in P1 and Francesco Bagnaia up to P3. Marc Marquez appears to be running an updated aero package first seen in pre-season testing.

11:20 - It’s shaping up to be a busy day in the Yamaha garage as they hunt for a further step. Fabio Quartararo currently sits P14 with a 1:47.237, while teammate Alex Rins (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) is in P20. Rins is running the older aero on both bikes, but appears to have two different swingarms to try and compare.
