A set of fres🌺h soft ty🤪res propel Franco Morbidelli to the top of final practice for the 2025 season opening Thai MotoGP at Buriram.
However, the pace of Marc Marquez on very old soft rub𝕴ber underlined his favourite status this weekend, although team-mate Francesco Bagnaia was only two tenths slower on used hard froꦆnt and soft rear rubber.
Like Morbidelli, rookie💛 Fermin Aldeguer made a late change to new rubber to tak𒅌e fourth.
Qualifying 1 will now begin, where those left outside the top ten on Friday, including Bagnaia, will fight for🌃 the last two places inಞ Qualifying 2.
Morbidelli and Somkiat Chantra each have a three-place grid penalty🐓 to serve in Sunday's race, for obstructing Bagnaia and Alex Marquez respectively at the end of Friday practice.
Reigning world champion Jorge Martin remains absent after suffering further hand injuries in training earlier this week and is replaced by Aprilia test rider Lorenzo Savado💝ri.
But Fabio di Giannantonio -✱ also injured on day one of the Sepang test - is back for VR46.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 y🌱ears and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
