The action kicked off intensely at Sepang Circuit as the intermediate class riders took to the track for the opening practice session of the 2026 Malaysian Grand Prix. Manuel Gonzalez emerged as the fastest rider after setting an impressive early benchmark that stood firm until the chequered flag.
Riding the Kalex machine for the Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP squad, the Spanish rider wasted no time getting up to speed. His stellar lap time of 2 minutes 03.737 seconds, clocked on his second lap, proved untouchable for his rivals as the session drew to a close.
Second place went to Alonso Lopez representing the Italjet Gresini Moto2 team. Lopez applied consistent pressure with an early fast lap of his own, ultimately finishing just 0.144 seconds adrift of the pacesetter.
Meanwhile, late drama unfolded in the final minutes when Daniel Holgado surged up the timesheets from 13th to third place after finally unlocking his late-session pace aboard his Aspar machine.
The fierce battle at the front also featured Izan Guevara securing fourth as the top Boscoscuro rider. With razor-thin margins across the field, the upcoming qualifying sessions promise high drama. Read our in-depth analysis to stay ahead.
