Maybe Marc Marquez has broken his Mandalika jinx… Bez with 19-lap old tyres: 1’30.241 Martin with 21 laps: 1’30.398 Marquez with 17 laps: 1’30.369 Only FP1, but he’s much closer to the Aprilias than anybody expected

Ok so a question that we were debating last night… How many GPs will Marc Marquez win between now and the end of the season, and will that be enough to win the title? I have two: Japan and Valencia. It’s going to be very, very tight.

Ok so Ducati’s latest aero update… The new front fairing is larger and is being used by all four riders. Wing design the same though. Pecco, Alex & Diggia were using the 2026 side fairing they’ve tested for a while. Marc is with the 2025 side fairing. Hope that clears it up.

How good is Bez looking? Used the same tyres for all 17 of his laps in FP1… And was faster than Marc’s lap record from last year’s #ThaiGP for every single one of them 🔥

🚨 Big Yamaha news: No bikes on track currently because of safety concerns with the new V4. Quartararo suffered a major technical issue late yesterday when he returned to the track following his crash, and Yamaha bosses have stopped all running until they find an answer

Genuine possibility that it could be test over if they can’t find a solution. Japanese bosses are deep in discussions at this moment. Overheating issues with the new engine a possible reason. After losing Fabio to injury yesterday, the nightmare start to 2026 continues.

Marc Marquez ends Day 1 fastest on his first day back aboard a MotoGP bike in 121 days. How incredibly Marc to instantly crush all of the optimism and hope his rivals built up at the end of the season. Fun’s over kids, daddy’s home.

Big crash from Fabio Quartararo at Turn 5. Just left the medical centre with strapping to his right arm. “No broken bones. He’s just very sore. It was a fast crash,” Maio Meregalli confirmed to @MotoGP outside the medical centre. #SepangTest

Why can’t Fabio and co race the new V4? Maio Meregalli confirmed 3 reasons: 1. Gearbox ratios - frozen at the start of the year and are drastically different for the V4. 2. Aerodynamics - already homologated the maximum number for the year. 3. Parts - they don’t have enough.

But we’ll see it on track two further times before the end of the season. Wildcards are planned for both Sepang and Valencia with Augusto Fernandez.
