Through uploads on his Twitter account, Aspar showed the condition of his motorcycle racer, Izan Guevara, which was dirty due to sand and dust. Accompanying the upload, Aspar quipped that FP1 actually looks like a motocross event.

"First free "motocross" practice in progress!" wrote Aspar Team on the official Twitter account.

MotoGP racers complained about the condition of the Mandalika Circuit track while undergoing a pre-season test session in February. The heavy rain that fell made the track dirty and some parts of the asphalt easily peeled off.

After the pre-season test, the Mandalika Grand Prix Association (MGPA) immediately moved quickly to make improvements. Repaving was also carried out in a number of parts, especially before Turn 17 until after Turn 5.
