MotoGP Indian GP: Marini tops Friday, factory Honda pair make Q2
The second practice session on Friday at the Buddh International Circuit in India was delayed for approximately 45 minutes due to logistical issues related to the earlier Moto3 FP2. Luca Marini set the fastest time, 1m44.782s, narrowly leading Jorge Martin of Pramac Racing by 0.008 seconds. In a first for the 2023 season, both factory Honda riders, Marc Marquez and Joan Mir, secured spots in Q2 for Saturday’s qualifying. Fabio Quartararo of Yamaha also advanced to Q2 for the first time since the Austrian Grand Prix weekend. The new layout of the Buddh International Circuit continued to pose challenges for riders, as seen by Jack Miller’s crash at Turn 12 during second practice. Marco Bezzecchi initially set the pace in FP2, but Marini ultimately claimed the top spot.
