Jorge Lorenzo and Marc Marquez were in a class of their own on the opening day of practice in Indianapolis and the betting market reflects it after day one. Despite Lorenzo setting the pace and being more consistent that Marquez it is the reigning world champion who remains an odds on favourite with Lorenzo now available at 12/5.

Valentino Rossi struggled today with what he declared the worst Friday of his campaign and has seen his odds move from 4/1 to 6/1 but given his ability to find solutions to setup problems so far this year he can’t be discounted.  Andrea Iannone came off his bike in FP1 and immediately raved about how comfortable he felt on the bike at the circuit. Iannone is available at 25/1.

Qualifying tomorrow sees Marquez an even money favourite for pole position however the Ducati’s could spring a surprise with Dovizioso at 8/1 and Iannone 10/1 interesting propositions given that they can avail of the softer Open class tyre.

In Moto2 despite being fifth fastest on Friday Johann Zarco remains the favouite with the Frenchman available at 2/1. Sam Lowes is available at 7’s following his second fastest time of the opening day.

Danny Kent (11/10) is the favourite in Moto3 with the championship leader looking to have plenty of pace in hand given that he didn’t improve in the afternoon while the rest of the field found plenty of time. Enea Bastianini (10/1) and Miguel Oliviera (8/1) showed good long run pace during the session however Moto3 could come down to its usual last lap fight.
