MotoGP Australian GP: Bezzecchi leads Aprilia 1-2-4-5 in Friday Practice
Bezzecchi’s late lap edged Raul Fernandez by 0.072 seconds as Aprilia placed four riders in the top five after two red flags.
- On Friday, Marco Bezzecchi topped Practice for the Australian MotoGP at Phillip Island with a 1m26.775s lap, edging Trackhouse Aprilia's Raul Fernandez by just under a tenth of a second. Aprilia emerged as the manufacturer to beat early in the weekend.
- The 60-minute session faced two red flags, disrupting track time and limiting rider opportunities. Bezzecchi crashed at Turn 4 early on, and a wallaby entering the circuit forced a second halt nine minutes later.
- Marc Marquez finished third as the leading Ducati, while championship leader Jorge Martin ended the day fifth. Pecco Bagnaia struggled to 14th, missing the direct qualification spots as the final 20 minutes saw intense competition.
- Factory Honda rider Luca Marini withdrew from the event due to a virus, leaving his team without a factory representative in Practice. Diogo Moreira managed ninth place as Honda's top runner for the day.
- Teams and riders now focus on Saturday's sessions to refine qualifying setups. Officials will re-evaluate Marini's condition tomorrow to determine his participation for the remainder of the Phillip Island weekend.
