MotoGP Qatar GP: Marquez tops shortened second practice at wet Losail
Rain arrived at the Losail track around 7pm, just an hour before the planned start of the session, causing the MotoGP track to be too wet for slick tires. Race control shortened the session and excluded it from qualifying groups due to the wet conditions. Most riders still took to the track when the session officially started at 8:10am, with Augusto Fernandez initially setting the pace on his GasGas Tech3 KTM. However, it was Pedro Acosta who briefly went fastest before Jack Miller and then Fernandez reclaimed the top spot. In the end, it was Marc Marquez on a Ducati who set the quickest time, with Fernandez and Acosta following closely behind. Yamaha and Aprilia struggled in the wet, while Marquez ended the day on top as Ducati’s new recruit.
