Tim Gajser set the pace in the first MXGP free practice session of the year in Argentina at a brand new track in Cordoba.
Maxime Renaux who is coming into the season in much better shape than this time last year was second fastest but less than half a second off the pace.
The experienced, Romain Febvre was third quickest on his Factory KRT machine.
Kevin Horgmo was very impressive in 2024 as a rookie and put in the fourth quickest time on his SR Honda with Calvin Vlaanderen rounding out the top five on his Factory Yamaha.
Ruben Fernandez was sixth fastest on his HRC Honda with Pauls Jonass sixth on his KRT MXGP debut.
Lucas Coenen was twenty-first so it looks like he’s riding in pain – it could be a tough weekend ahead for him in what is his MXGP debut.
In the MXGP wildcard group, Valentin Guillod set the pace on his stock Yamaha.
