      Read the latest update on Zarco:

      16:00 - Another hour is in the books! We’re remaining hopeful of seeing some action this afternoon or, at the very least, a few Practice Starts once the chequered flag falls at 18:00 local time (UTC+2).
      15:35 - We’re nearing two hours remaining in the Barcelona Test, with still no track activity after rain showers earlier in the day. However, we do have an update from Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing), who has posted on social media following his Turn 7 crash this morning.
      14:45 - Honda has also posted on social media, and it seems the rain has brought an early end to their day as well. The Honda HRC Castrol duo of Luca Marini and Joan Mir finished the morning session in P14 and P15 – completing over 70 laps combined.
      14:40 - Testing is done for the Ducati Lenovo Team, with Francesco Bagnaia beginning a well-deserved rest after a busy weekend in Barcelona. The Italian ended the morning session in P10 and has confirmed he won’t take part in the afternoon running.
      14:00 - Just four hours are left in the Barcelona Test, but don't worry, you’ve not missed anything from this afternoon. The riders remain in the pits, giving you the perfect opportunity to make another coffee!
      13:20 - We are back on track! Well, sort of… The clock is ticking for the second session, but no riders have left their box just yet as rain falls in Barcelona.
      13:00 - Lunch time and just in time as it begins to pour with rain up at the track - there's a lot of rain in the Barcelona area today, we may well have seen the best times if it continues. Anyway, we're off to take shelter and get some food. We'll keep you updated on the weather soon!
      12:55 - Another change in the top five and this time for Raul Fernandez (Trackhouse MotoGP Team) who goes P5.
      12:40 - An official update has been issued from Aprilia Racing regarding Jorge Martin: it's the end of the 2024 World Champion's test and he'll be transferred to the Dexeus University Hospital in Barcelona for further assessments despite tests and examinations at the medical centre revealing no visible fractures. Get well soon, Jorge!
      12:30 - Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) is on the move, putting some fast times on the board after a slow start to proceedings for the Spaniard. Acosta now sits fourth, making it three KTMs inside the top five. Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) is down in P12 at the moment, but the #33 is out on circuit, so expect some quick laps soon!
      12:15 - There’s been some big changes in terms of times in the last 15 minutes, with Maverick Viñales (Red Bull KTM Tech3) jumping into third. Diogo Moreira (Pro Honda LCR) has also placed himself inside the top five once more – spinning over 30 laps in the opening two hours!
      12:00 - We head into the final hour of the first session. Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) remains the quickest rider on circuit – clocking over 20 laps. Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech3) sits second, 0.053s adrift as Fermin Aldeguer BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) rounds out the top three.
      11:40 - After the brief pause in proceedings, the green flag is back out as action resumes, with the riders heading back onto the circuit.
      11:27 - We've got a red flag here in Barcelona. The reason? Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing) has crashed at Turn 7.
      11:00 - An hour into the day and 18 riders (or in other words, everyone testing today) have ventured out for a spin, with Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) topping the timesheets with a 1:38.831.
