Live updates from Friday practice at the 2025 Indonesian MotoGP at Mandalika.
Marc Marquez, the 8-time world champion, aims to surpass his 2014 record of 13 wins in a season by winning two of the remaining five races after clinching the title in Japan.
His immediate goal this weekend at Mandalika is to finish the Grand Prix, as he has never completed a race at the circuit in three prior attempts due to various incidents.
Marquez has yet to secure a victory at Mandalika or Portimao this season, being the only circuits on the current calendar where he has not triumphed.
Francesco Bagnaia, Marquez’s Ducati teammate, is now trailing Alex Marquez by 66 points in the fight for second place, while Marco Bezzecchi is a further 32 points behind after being taken out by Jorge Martin in Japan.
Jorge Martin is sidelined this weekend due to a successful surgery for a right collarbone fracture suffered at Motegi, with rookie Ai Ogura also out of action, leaving Raul Fernandez as the sole Trackhouse rider in the special Gulf livery.
