Pedro Acosta led Marc Marquez by 0.006s in second Friday MotoGP practice at new venue Balaton Park, as Marquez’s team-mate Pecco Bagnaia floundered all the way down in 14th
Pedro Acosta finished ahead of Marc Marquez by a mere 0.006s in the MotoGP practice at Balaton Park. Marquez’s team-mate, Pecco Bagnaia, struggled and ended up in 14th place. Bagnaia’s difficulties were evident as he had to go through Q1 for the third time this year after struggling with the chicane and final sector.
While Marquez and Aldeguer showed early promise, Acosta capitalized on the soft rear tire to set the fastest time. Despite a slow highside, Acosta remained uninjured. The Q2 qualifiers include Acosta, both Marquez brothers, Aldeguer, Bastianini, Morbidelli, Mir, P Espargaro, Marini, and Quartararo.
Bagnaia will need to face tough competition in Q1 tomorrow, with riders like Martin, Bezzecchi, Di Giannantonio, Binder, Zarco, and Miller among others. Marquez improved his time to finish just 0.006s behind Acosta, while Alex Marquez faces an investigation for an on-track incident.
