Brad Binder led Marc Marquez in the second and final MotoGP Friday practice session at Motegi, as KTM showed itself to be a credible threat to Ducati
“It was Brad Binder who topped Marc Marquez in the MotoGP Friday practice session at Motegi, showing KTM as a credible threat to Ducati. Despite initial leaders like Pecco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin, Binder and Marquez emerged on top by the end of the session. KTM’s strong performance was expected due to the track’s layout favoring their braking strengths and engine performance. Binder’s pace was reinforced by his future team-mate Pedro Acosta, who finished fourth ahead of other notable riders. Enea Bastianini avoided a Q1 session appearance after a crash, while Jack Miller was left despondent after missing out on the top 10 due to a late crash.”
