Vinales and Rossi form a Monster Yamaha one-two during opening practice for the second consecutive MotoGP event at Jerez, with rookie star Binder in third.

Binder's KTM team-mate Espargaro led for most of the session, while not all riders tried for a time attack at the end.

After missing last weekend's race through injury, Crutchlow and Rins both returned to action this morning.

The Englishman required surgery for a broken scaphoid bone in his left wrist after falling in warm-up, while Rins dislocated and fractured his right shoulder in qualifying.

Reigning MotoGP champion Marc Marquez broke his right arm in Sunday's race but will attempt a shock return on Saturday morning, just four days after surgery to plate the fracture.
