New Bancaja Aspar team-mates Julián Simón and Bradley Smith opened the Commercialbank Grand Prix of Qatar weekend on top in the first practice.
The first free practice session of the 2009 season saw the 125cc riders undertake 40 minutes of productive riding under the floodlights in Qatar on Friday evening, with few surprises at the head of the timesheet as Julián Simón and Bradley Smith came out on top.
As the only rider going under the 2’08 mark, Simón kept up the good work after an excellent preseason, to go round a second faster than any of his rivals with a best effort of 2’07.791 on the 12th of his 14 laps.
Englishman Smith, who like his new colleague Simón was recruited by Bancaja Aspar over the winter and enjoyed a strong preseason, was second quickest with a time of 2’08.823s at a circuit where he took pole position last year
