Overview

• Pedro Acosta set the day’s benchmark with a 1:30.374, with Álex Márquez second and Marco Bezzecchi third after a mixed day of long runs and time attacks.
• Fabio Quartararo, Jack Miller and Alex Rins sampled Yamaha’s V4; Quartararo judged it worse than the current inline‑four, Miller called it promising, and team boss Massimo Meregalli said the rider feedback was consistent and yielded clear direction.
• Yamaha clarified Augusto Fernandez’s San Marino GP fuel alarms were caused by an electronics dashboard fault rather than excessive consumption.
• Manufacturers pursued targeted programs: Ducati compared swingarms and aero, Aprilia evaluated a revised chassis and electronics as Jorge Martin worked ergonomics, KTM tried a new exhaust, swingarm and aero, and Honda tested aero updates and a new chassis for Luca Marini.
• Joan Mir and Ai Ogura skipped the test to focus on recovery, while teams banked data for upcoming wildcards at Sepang and Valencia and the crucial post‑season Valencia evaluation.
