MotoGP Valencia GP: Vinales tops second practice, Bagnaia in Q1 for finale
Coming into the final weekend with a 21-point gap between factory Ducati rider Bagnaia and Pramac’s Martin, Friday’s second practice session was crucial. Martin came out on top by finishing second behind Aprilia’s Vinales, who set a new lap record of 1m29.142s to be the fastest of the day. Bagnaia could only manage 15th place due to yellow flags and being involved in gamesmanship with Martin. The session saw early crashes from Espargaro, Bezzecchi, Fernandez, and Rins, with Di Giannantonio initially setting the pace. Vinales, Martin, and Zarco completed the top three, while Bagnaia was joined by others in Q1 for Saturday morning. Joan Mir did not participate in second practice due to a crash in FP1.
