Tieši šajā trasē pirms gada Markess ieguva pirmo starta vietu, sasniedza sacensību ātrāko apli un guva savu pirmo MotoGP uzvaru. Piektdien viņš treniņbraucienos lika noprast, ka šogad gatavojas to atkārtot.
Pirmajā sesijā Markesa tuvākais sekotājs bija Aleikšs Esargaro no "Forward Racing" komandas, kurš no sava spāņu tautieša atpalika 0,887 sekundes. Trešo vietu ieguva Markesa komandas biedrs Danijs Pedrosa, kurš arī zaudēja nedaudz mazāk par 1 sekundi.
Ja pirmajā sesijā Markesa laiks bija 2:04.704, otrajā viņš to laboja par vairāk nekā sekundi un sasniedza rezultātu 2:03.490. "Ducati" vienības braucējs Andreā Doviciozo uzrādīja otro ātrāko laiku, taču no Markesa atpalika 1.005 sekundes. Trešā vieta atkal Pedrosam.
"Yamaha" braucējs Valentino Rosi treniņos uzrādīja ceturto un piekto rezultātu, kamēr viņa komandas biedram Horhem Lorenco sākums gaužām pieticīgs - tikai divpadsmitā un astotā vieta. Viņš sūdzējās par to, ka riepas īsti nav atbildušas viņa vēlmēm.
Amerikas "Grand Prix" izšķirošā kvalifikācija sāksies šovakar plkst. 23:05 pēc Latvijas laika, bet sacensības startēs svētdien plkst. 22:00 vakarā.
