FP2

The morning Free Practice 2 session was 30 minutes long and served as a warm-up before qualifying. As soon as the green light came on, the riders wasted no time heading out on track.

The first measured lap times were in the 1:30–1:32 range. The early lead was taken by Marco Bezzecchi, who quickly broke into the 1:29s. However, with seven minutes gone, he brought out the yellow flags after crashing at Turn 3.

The standings were more mixed than yesterday. Toprak Razgatlıoğlu was down in 15th place, with his teammate just behind him. Michele Pirro, who had received a three-place grid penalty for an incident with Álex Márquez on Friday, was sitting in last place, more than four seconds slower than Bezzecchi.

Marc Márquez found his speed again and was holding fourth place, with his teammate Francesco Bagnaia right behind him.

As on Friday, most riders opted for soft front tyres, while the rear choice was split between soft and medium compounds.

Jorge Martín continued to impress on his return from injury, breaking into the top 10.

At the halfway mark, the top 10 were: Bezzecchi, Pedro Acosta, Á. Márquez, Bagnaia, M. Márquez, Raúl Fernández, Martín, Johann Zarco, Joan Mir, and Franco Morbidelli.

Acosta steadily improved and eventually took the lead from Bezzecchi. Sector analysis showed Bezzecchi fastest in sectors one and four, while Acosta dominated sector two.

Morbidelli made progress and moved up to fourth. His teammate Fabio Di Giannantonio was just outside the top 10 in 12th.

The top 15 riders were all within one second of the leader, highlighting how competitive the field was. Another standout performer was Ai Ogura, who ran inside the top six. Meanwhile, Yamaha struggled, with their riders occupying positions 18th to 21st.

In the final minutes, some Q1 riders returned to the pits early to conserve energy. When the chequered flag fell, no major improvements followed, as attention shifted fully to qualifying.

Q1

In Q1, the two fastest riders would advance to Q2. The participants included Bagnaia, Moreira, Marini, Miller, Bastianini, Rins, Viñales, Morbidelli, Fernández, Quartararo, Razgatlıoğlu, and Pirro.

After the first attempts, Morbidelli and Bagnaia held the promotion spots, with lap times ranging from 1:29 to 1:32. Morbidelli narrowly missed the 1:28s by just 0.090 seconds. With five minutes done, Morbidelli and Fernández were in the top two, until Fernández improved further, becoming the first to break into the 1:28s.

After a short pit stop, the riders returned for their final runs. Quartararo began a promising lap but made a mistake in sector two and aborted the lap. Razgatlıoğlu struggled for some time and sat in 10th.

Bagnaia pushed hard but repeatedly made small mistakes that cost him improvements. Just seconds before the chequered flag, Morbidelli crashed at Turn 3. Bagnaia failed to improve and finished third, missing out on Q2, a disappointing result early in the season.

Fernández and Morbidelli advanced to Q2.

Q2

The Q2 participants were Bezzecchi, M. Márquez, Di Giannantonio, Acosta, Martín, Á. Márquez, Mir, Binder, Ogura, Zarco, Fernández, and Morbidelli.

All riders headed out immediately. Lap times ranged from 1:28 to 1:30, with Bezzecchi the first to break into the 1:28s on his opening attempt. Morbidelli was the only rider initially in the pits after his Q1 crash.

Bezzecchi improved further to strengthen his provisional pole. Fernández moved up to third, briefly making it an Aprilia front-row lockout.

Marc Márquez struggled at first, sitting seventh. After the final pit stop, he delivered a strong lap to move into second, just close to the pole. Fernández improved again to secure third place.

Morbidelli, despite advancing from Q1, could only manage 12th.

On his final attempt, Bezzecchi crashed in sector four but remained in pole position. Acosta was the only rider able to improve at the end, climbing to sixth.

Bezzecchi secured pole position, ahead of Marc Márquez in second and Fernández completing the front row.
