MotoGP News: Luca Marini recorded brilliant results. He led the FP2 MotoGP India. Meanwhile, Marc Marquez shines no less.

However, KTM factory teammates Brad Binder and Jack Miller are among those absent and will have to take part in Saturday’s Qualifying 1.

Marc Márquez recorded brilliant results chasing Bezzecchi. Both finished in the top 5 and purchased tickets for the second quarter. On the other hand, LCR Honda rider Takaaki Nakagami raised the yellow flag with his second crash of the day at the finish, which is why Brad Binder, among others, lost his best lap time.

This dropped the Red Bull KTM factory rider from 4th to 12th – and thus into Q1. Repsol Honda factory rider Joan Mir surprisingly remained in the top 10 behind Vinales, Bagnaia, Quartararo and Zarco. Stefan Bradl lost 20.1 seconds in 494th place.

Martin’s title rival and world championship leader Francesco Bagnaia was still 18th at this stage, but the Italian finally showed his cards on a soft new backline to eventually take seventh.
