2025 Buriram MotoGP Free Practice 2 Result: Morbidelli Picks Up The Pace

By Zara Daniela |

The final practice session for the premier class offered a familiar picture, with an all-Ducati top 5 on the timesheets, although the order was slightly different to one day ago. Keen to make up for the three-place grid penalty for getting in Pecco Bagnaia’s way yesterday, Franco Morbidelli sampled some fresh rubber in the final few minutes of FP2 and promoted himself to the top of the timing screens by seven hundredths of a second.

2025 Buriram Moto2 Free Practice 2 Result: Öncü Trumps Canet

The intermediate class battled through a predictably hot start to Saturday at Buriram to work on their race preparation, but two men still shined at the top of the timesheets. After Aron Canet held the spotlight for much of proceedings, Deniz Öncü robbed him in the final handful of minutes to take top spot by five hundredths of a second ahead of the Spaniard. Zonta Van Den Goorbergh joined them in the top three, a couple tenths off the lead and narrowly ahead of a rather surprising Mario Aji.

2025 Buriram Moto3 Free Practice 2 Result: Rueda Makes His First Move

With the line-up for the two qualifying sessions already decided on Friday afternoon, the lightweight class had a more carefree – but by no means slow – start on Saturday.  Although it made no difference for proceedings, the same names gravitated towards the top of the timesheets for a second day in a row, but this time led by Jose Antonio Rueda with brand new lap record set in the latter stages of FP2. Adrian Fernandez also joined him under the old benchmark in second position, with Stefano Nepa sneaking into the top three in the final seconds of the session. 

Buriram MotoGP Friday Round Up: Yellow Flags And Fast Brothers

By David Emmett |

It's Only Friday, as the riders like to say to hype-hungry journalists after the first day of practice. That is of course true, but this It's Only Friday has brought a whole ream of fascinating stories to follow. It is far too early to be drawing conclusions for the rest of the season, but so far, 2025 looks a lot less like 2024 than we feared.

Yes, Ducati is still clearly the strongest manufacturer. The Márquez brothers topped the timesheets on Friday, Gresini's Alex beating Lenovo's Marc by half a tenth of a second. And in terms of pace, Ducatis are looking strongest as well: Marc Márquez was running 1'29.9s on old tires, teammate Pecco Bagnaia 1'30.0s.

But there are signs the other factories are catching up. There are as many Aprilias in the top 10 and directly through to Q2 as there are Ducatis (three). All five manufacturers are straight through to Q2. There are two Hondas in the top ten, Joan Mir an impressive sixth fastest. And Pedro Acosta is both quick over a single lap and running just a tenth or two off Pecco Bagnaia's pace on used tires. It has been very interesting day indeed.

By David Emmett |

Alex Marquez has topped the timesheets at the end of the first day of practice for the MotoGP class. The BK8 Gresini Ducati rider put in a very fast lap as the clock ran out to jump a few hundredths ahead of his brother and ex-teammate Marc Marquez. The two Marquez brothers were the only riders to clock 1'29.0s, three tenths off Pecco Bagnaia's lap record from Q2 last year.
