Overview
- Marc Marquez topped MotoGP FP1 at Misano, beating Marco Bezzecchi by 0.060 seconds in a session that finished with improving grip on the track.
- Marquez ran a used soft front and medium rear while Bezzecchi used medium front and rear, a contrast that teams will study to shape short‑run tyre strategy for the weekend.
- Two crashes interrupted the session: Pedro Acosta fell at Turn 1 and Jack Miller crashed on his outlap at Turn 4, but both incidents did not stop the session from producing useful setup data.
- Support classes reflected the drying surface with Manuel Gonzalez fastest in Moto2 FP1 and Joel Kelso quickest in a wet-to-drying Moto3 FP1 as lap times fell later in each session.
- Friday’s practice is an early indicator rather than a forecast; teams will refine setups and tyre plans before qualifying and the Sprint with an eye on how this performance tightens the title fight led by Jorge Martin.
