The practice session at the Mandalika Circuit delivered extraordinary drama as Raul Fernandez set the fastest time to secure an automatic Q2 spot. The Trackhouse Spaniard not only claimed the top position but also shattered the all-time lap record with a stunning 1:28.725, shaving a tenth off the previous benchmark set last year.
Noale factory Aprilia immediately stamped its authority as the clear favorite this weekend. Right behind Fernandez, the factory machine riders Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martin completed a sensational Aprilia lockout in the top three. Given the incredible potential of the RS-GP, this weekend could prove pivotal for their championship aspirations, where failing to maximize points could hurt later on.
Behind the three Noale bikes, Pedro Acosta once again proved to be a formidable threat, showing remarkable competitiveness across all types of circuits. Meanwhile, reigning world champion Marc Marquez finished fifth as the leading Ducati rider, smartly conserving his energy for the crucial phases of the weekend ahead.
Overall, the Borgo Panigale machines responded strongly to Aprilia's challenge. Fabio Di Giannantonio, Alex Marquez, Franco Morbidelli, and Francesco Bagnaia all successfully secured direct access to Q2. Special mention also goes to Fabio Quartararo, who delivered a stellar performance to grab the seventh fastest time and punch his ticket to the qualifying showdown.
The notable exceptions of the day were Ai Ogura and Fermin Aldeguer, who unfortunately missed out on the top ten. The action at the Indonesian Grand Prix will resume tomorrow with FP2, followed by Q1 and Q2, setting the stage for the Sprint and the main race.
