Jorge Martin tops Friday Practice at the Thailand MotoGP as Francesco Bagnaia books his spot in Q2.
Francesco Bagnaia, the world championship leader, had to quickly return to the pit lane during Free Practice 1 due to a small issue with his factory Ducati’s front brake disc. Despite his struggles with the brakes, he managed to set the sixth fastest lap time in order to avoid being in Q1 for the third round in a row. Alex Marquez, riding for Gresini Ducati, briefly topped the leaderboard, but was overtaken by Fabio Quartararo and then Johann Zarco. During the session, Marquez had a strange incident where he was hit by a piece of carbon that came off Jorge Martin’s Ducati after Martin clipped one of the small bollards at the entry to the pits. Unfortunately, Martin also suffered a crash shortly after setting the fastest lap time.
