WRC - Australia: Loads of dust coming up from the gravel section of the velodrome section of the stage which is right next to the service park. Latvala quickest so far.
MotoGP - Misano: Bradl jumps to second now, as Lorenzo has a time chalked off for exceeding track limits.
Stopwatch
MotoGP - Misano: No surprises at the head of the field - Marc Marquez sets the early pace with a 1m35.350s, with Rossi second and Lorenzo third. Pedrosa yet to set a competitive time.
WRC - Australia: Have to say, Autosport has not been impressed with the noisy build-up to the cars arriving in the stage. Some sort of thrash metal arrangement has almost made my ears bleed. Cars are in now. Quinn and Al-Qassimi clear of SS9.
WRC 2013
WRC - Australia: Speaking of the Frenchman, he turned in a perfect morning today, winning all three gravel stages south of Coffs Harbour. The WRC series leader admitted he was running the loop as a fast recce, just checking his notes. Makes you wonder just how quick he’ll be through the afternoon…
SS8 Report: Ogier extends lead over Citroens
WRC - Australia: Unsurprisingly, Sebastien Ogier arrives at the superspecial leading the event by 18.4 seconds from Mikko Hirvonen. The drivers have been working on their cars before the stage, working on suspension clicks to improve the turn in on the asphalt following a day on the gravel. Completing this job involves lying precariously beneath the front wheel of their cars.
Breaking news
MotoGP - Misano: Dry weather for this opening practice. The big news, if you missed it yesterday, is that Yamaha has brought its seamless gearbox to Italy, which both Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi hope will help carry the fight to Honda.
Yamaha also announced that it will supply an M1 engine, plus a frame and swingarm on a one-year deal, to Forward Racing next year.
