Overview
- Medically cleared to ride, Martin completed his first full day back since Motegi, placing 24th in FP1 and 22nd in the afternoon Practice after collarbone surgery.
- The FIM stewards deemed his Motegi sprint start collision with Marco Bezzecchi irresponsible and issued a double long‑lap for the next grand prix he contests, which will not count as served if he withdraws due to that injury.
- MotoGP’s medical team also cleared Maverick Vinales and Raul Fernandez to return for the season finale at Circuit Ricardo Tormo.
- Friday’s schedule was delayed after a red‑flagged Moto2 crash and track damp patches; Jack Miller topped a mixed FP1 before Pedro Acosta led the closing Practice session.
- Acosta led Practice from Bezzecchi and Franco Morbidelli, Alex Marquez took fourth and rookie Ai Ogura fifth, while Francesco Bagnaia finished 14th and must go through Q1 on Saturday.
