With a lap time of 1.45.209s, he led comfortably, despite only several runs being completed by all riders, including himself, in the wet first practice session. The top three positions were secured by Jorge Martin, Fabio Di Giannantonio, and the leader, separated by 0.380s. Rain was expected during practice, but only arrived after 32 minutes, with the track being challenging due to greasy conditions. Martin improved significantly on his second lap, as other riders adjusted to the changing weather conditions on the Japanese streets. Despite the rain, some riders like Bagnaia still managed to excel, while others struggled to find their rhythm before concluding the session in the pit lane. Overall, the first practice session proved to be a missed opportunity for most riders to fine-tune their setups for the upcoming races.
