2011 Estoril MotoGP FP1 Result: Simoncelli Takes Charge

Hostilities have been resumed in the MotoGP class at Estoril, and the first session of free practice turned into a much more interesting affair than FP1 usually manages. The lead swapped constantly throughout the session, with San Carlo Gresini's Marco Simoncelli and factory Yamaha man Jorge Lorenzo taking turns at the top, later joined by Repsol Honda's Casey Stoner.

Simoncelli came out on top at the end, setting the fastest lap at the very end of the session, and pushing Stoner down into 2nd, ahead of his Repsol teammate Dani Pedrosa. Jorge Lorenzo ended the session in 4th, ahead of Valentino Rossi, the Italian putting in a very strong showing on the Marlboro Ducati. Andrea Doviziso finished behind Rossi, but ahead of the Monster Tech 3 Yamaha of Colin Edwards and the second factory Yamaha of Ben Spies. Hector Barbera of the Aspar Ducati team and Randy de Puniet on the Pramac Ducati rounded out the top ten.
