Marc Marquez led the way in the second Friday practice session of the 2024 MotoGP season opener in Qatar. Rainfall forced organisers to revise the weekend schedule at the Lusail International Circuit. The Moto2 session featured just four riders setting laptimes with wet tires on. The MotoGP session could have been chaotic as it was meant to determine the top 10 qualifiers, but race control decided to shift the ‘pre-qualifying’ to Saturday. Despite the wet track, there were minimum incidents, with Marquez topping the session three tenths ahead of the competition. The session was a rare wet one in Lusail, creating a historic practice day for the riders.
