2025 San Marino MotoGP: Marc Marquez tops crash-strewn Misano Practice
“Despite encountering some challenges with turning through the fast right-handers in the third sector, Marc Marquez secured the fastest time in the San Marino MotoGP second practice session.
Marquez’s feedback to his team during the pit stops indicated some difficulties, but these issues did not hinder his performance as he topped the session with a lead of over 0.1 seconds over Marco Bezzecchi.
Francesco Bagnaia briefly led the timesheets with a brilliant time attack before Marquez surpassed him, ultimately settling for fourth place behind Franco Morbidelli.
Alex Marquez claimed the fifth-fastest time, with Joan Mir and Luca Marini on the factory Hondas following closely behind with new exhaust and aerodynamic configurations.
Jorge Martin capitalized on Bezzecchi’s pace to secure eighth place, with Pedro Acosta and Fabio Di Giannantonio completing the top-10 lineup.
Notably, Yamaha did not feature in the top-10, as Fabio Quartararo struggled to improve his time amidst disruptions from yellow flags caused by Augusto Fernandez, Jack Miller, and Mir’s crashes. Mir’s incident appeared concerning but he managed to recover.
Raul Fernandez also experienced a crash towards the end of the session at turn 15, while tyre choices varied among riders, with Marquez demonstrating strong pace on the medium rear compound.”
