2026 Qatar MotoGP Free Practice 2 Result: Bezzecchi Leads Aprilia Offensive

The final practice session for the premier class at Lusail got underway with a fast start by Marc Marquez and ended with an Aprilia lockout of the top 4 positions. Marco Bezzecchi only took over from the championship leader with three minutes left of the session but in that remaining time he was joined by the Trackhouse duo of Raul Fernandez and Ai Ogura in the top 3, while Jorge Martin made a late jump into 4th, demoting Marquez to 5th.

2026 Qatar Moto2 Free Practice 2 Result: Gonzalez And Guevara Stay Inseparable

Friday’s leader, Dani Holgado, opened the show on Saturday by still leading the way for most of FP2 and showcasing his strong pace, until rivals on fresh rubber picked up speed and denied him the headline in the final couple of minutes. First it was Senna Agius taking over top spot with one minute left on the clock and then teammate Manu Gonzalez claimed the session on his final flying lap.

2026 Qatar Moto3 Free Practice 2 Result: Quiles Leads Despite Another Tumble

Saturday morning got underway with mixed fortunes for the reigning world champion, as Maximo Quiles swiftly took his seat at the top of the timing screens but followed it up with a tumble only 10 minutes into the session, after losing control on the kerbs coming out of turn 7. The Spaniard was unharmed but his track time was severely limited while his crew fixed the damage and he never returned to the track.

Qatar MotoGP Friday Round Up: Far From A Foregone Conclusion

Qatar MotoGP Friday Round Up: Far From A Foregone Conclusion

Bikes took to the track at the Lusail International Circuit on Friday, producing a sense of normality at the track in Qatar. Or at least as much of a sense of normality as can be hoped for at Lusail. It remains a track sitting next to an expanse of desert in one of the hottest places on the planet, forcing the action to take place at night.

It wouldn't be so bad if it was just held at night, as it used to many years ago. But spreading the event over four days to fit every session of free practice for all three classes into the narrow window between sunset and dew forming on the track and causing crashes proved impractical. So now we have a practice session in daylight, with track temperatures soaring into the high 40s °C, and then a session in the dark, when track temperatures are pretty much equal to ambient, high 20s-low 30s °C.
