The Motegi circuit is once again the center of attention for MotoGP fans. The practice session for the 2026 Japanese GP will start at exactly 08:00 local time, and the riders are ready to tame the demanding track. Motegi is known for its technical layout, combining hard braking and fast corners, making this practice session crucial for finding the ideal setup.
In the earlier FP1 session, Marc Marquez was the fastest, followed by Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi. Marquez's performance at Motegi is always a highlight, given his impressive record at this circuit. However, Martin and Bezzecchi won't be idle; both are eager to close the gap and seize the top spot.
Unfortunately, bad news struck Takaaki Nakagami. The home hero suffered a fractured collarbone and will be sidelined for the entire weekend. This injury is a heavy blow for Nakagami, who certainly wanted to perform at his best in front of his home crowd. His team must now find a quick solution to fill the void.
This practice session will determine who goes directly to Q2. With a tight qualifying format, every second counts. Riders are required to be aggressive from the start, but also cautious to avoid crashing. The clean track and sunny weather are predicted to make the competition even fiercer.
From the Ducati camp, both Martin and Bezzecchi showed promising speed. The Desmosedici GP26 looks highly competitive in the technical sectors of Motegi. Meanwhile, other Japanese riders like Ai Ogura and Tetsuta Nagashima are determined to cause surprises in front of their home fans.
MotoGP fans around the world, especially in Indonesia, can watch the practice session live via official broadcasts. Don't miss the thrilling action from the world's elite riders. Who will be the fastest? Will Marquez maintain his dominance, or will another rider emerge as a dark horse?
