The morning started in Malaysia with Marc Márquez being the fastest in the Warm Up session. The rider gave great indications yesterday and showed his speed, if there were still doubts, but today he made it clear that he is to be taken very seriously in Sepang.
With a lap in 1’59.073s the Gresini Racing MotoGP rider was the fastest on track, and with a difference of only 0.003s over Jorge Martín (Prima Pramac Racing), he who has all eyes on him today as he can seal the world title of the category – although it does not depend only on himself to achieve it.
Pecco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team), who still dreams of the title but yesterday suffered a big blow in that sense when he fell in the second corner of the Sprint, while chasing Martinator, also showed himself to be very strong and was only 0.012s behind the #93.
Álex Márquez (Gresini Racing MotoGP) once again showed why the Sepang circuit is one of his favorites, being fourth, while Pedro Acosta (Red Bull GASGAS Tech3) was fifth and the best non-Ducati on track.
