Marc Marquez secured the fastest lap time during the Friday MotoGP Practice session at the Sepang International Circuit despite suffering an earlier crash. The Ducati Lenovo Team rider posted a 1'57.000 to edge out his younger brother in challenging track conditions.
The crucial closing practice session of the Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia saw riders pushing hard to secure a vital direct entry into Q2 for Saturday's grid. Track temperatures remained high as all competitors searched for peak performance from their machines.
During the early runs, Marc Marquez switched to the soft rear compound tire, which immediately triggered a front-end loss at the final corner. The Spanish rider slid off the tarmac but emerged unhurt, quickly returning to the pitlane to resume action aboard his secondary motorcycle.
As the final fifteen minutes approached, the decisive time attacks commenced with maximum intensity. Setting a benchmark of 1'57.000, the factory Ducati rider established an unbeatable lap time without even requiring a fresh set of soft tires on his ultimate run.
Closest challenger Alex Marquez finished just 0,109 seconds adrift to lock out a family one-two at the top of the timesheets. The competitive field showcased immense tension throughout the entire pitlane as Q2 spots were finalized.
The overall results have set the stage for an intense qualifying battle ahead of the weekend's main races. Teams now turn their full attention toward fine-tuning race pace and tire longevity.
