Jack Miller, riding for Pramac Yamaha MotoGP, set the quickest time in the opening practice session of the final round of the 2025 season at Valencia. Miller’s 1m30.382s lap put him more than three tenths of a second ahead of his closest competitors, with the help of fresh front and rear tyres. Ai Ogura, Aleix Espargaro, and Raul Fernandez also benefited from fresh rubber and secured high positions in the practice rankings. Despite initially leading the session, Alex Marquez was overtaken by fresh-tyre runners and Franco Morbidelli, who managed to move up to fourth with a used medium tire. The session saw positive results for Yamaha’s V4 prototype, with tester Augusto Fernandez reaching 10th place and demonstrating strong performance. Several incidents occurred, including crashes for Brad Binder and Fermin Aldeguer, but marked the MotoGP comebacks of Maverick Vinales and Jorge Martin. Vinales, Martin, and Pecco Bagnaia did not use fresh rubber in the closing stages, impacting their starting positions for the event. Additionally, Martin’s return session included a moment of concern during a practice start, where he nearly hit the pitwall after a wheelie.
