Marc Marquez Leads Practice at Australian MotoGP

Marc Marquez clocked the fastest lap of 1:27.770 during a weather-disrupted practice session for the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix, followed closely by his brother Alex Marquez. Marco Bezzecchi secured third place, while championship leader Jorge Martin managed to recover from an early crash to finish fourth, just ahead of title rival Francesco Bagnaia. The session was marked by a complete washout in the morning, which hindered teams from gathering data on the newly resurfaced track. Other notable riders, including Jack Miller and Enea Bastianini, struggled, with both failing to secure direct entry into Q2. The championship remains competitive with Martin holding a narrow 10-point lead over Bagnaia as they head into qualifying and the main race weekend. The Moto3 session saw Angel Piqueras dominate in mixed conditions, finishing first ahead of David Alonso and Adrian Fernandez.
