The Gresini Ducati rider set a new record around the Thai circuit with a time of 1.291.165s, surpassing his previous best. Jorge Martin also improved on his lap record but ended up 0.110s behind his compatriot. Enea Bastianini and Francesco Bagnaia were closely behind, opting for harder rear tires to combat tire wear at the track’s braking zones. Some notable riders, including Brad Binder and Fabio Quartararo, chose softer tires and showed good pace early in practice. Despite some crashes, most riders completed the session unscathed, with the top 19 separated by just over a second. In the end, Marquez emerged as the fastest rider, while Ducati dominated the leaderboard. Maverick Vinales was the top non-Ducati rider, securing a spot in Q2. Other riders like Franco Morbidelli and Pedro Acosta also had strong showings, with many tight battles for qualifying spots.
