12:16 - We have a Red Flag at the moment; the safety car headed out on track.
12:04 - We get our second rider on track with Maverick Viñales (Red Bull KTM Tech 3) briefly out; like Miller, he's straight back into the pits.
11:20 - There'll be no Practice Start Session during the morning after teams agreed to continue without a break.
One for the cameraman too!

11:13 - 2026 IS GO: we can always rely on Jack Miller (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP) to deliver the goods and he's the first rider to hit the track. It's only an outlap but for us, it's STILL A LAP!
11:00 - One hour in and still no track action for the moment in Valencia; we wait patiently but hopefully, we'll have some laps soon!
10:00 - The lights have gone green as FP1 begins but cold track temperatures are keeping the riders tucked up warm in pitlane at the moment!
From #Moto2 to #MotoGP testing duty!
