Malaysian MotoGP, Sepang - Friday Practice Results

Marc Marquez topped Friday practice for the 2026 Malaysian MotoGP at Sepang, round 19 of 22, leading the session by a comfortable margin. The factory Ducati rider finished with a 0.474s gap over Marco Bezzecchi and Pedro Acosta, who posted matching times for second-best. Title rival Jorge Martin, sidelined by a fractured wrist after a crash at Phillip Island, managed only 12 flying laps and ended 20th, 1.8s off Marquez. Martin’s fitness will be reviewed officially after FP1, while Aprilia rider Raul Fernandez was already out after suffering pain from a broken finger. The session briefly halted after debris following a brake-end contact involving Iker Lecuona’s Gresini Ducati.
